    When my engine dropped down it pulled the hose of the power steering, and I lost all my fluid

    It looks really serious but only cost me about $120 to fix.
    After I had done a bit of research on it, I realised it was quite a easy fix

    Cool, well the car is now up at Golfwagen with Joe, he's an experienced welder, so it's in safe hands.

    Looks like it's Laser driving all weekend

    A bit of welding later and it's back together although from what the guy who did it said it looks like it should be pulled apart and have a new bracket made and welded in better.

    Either way it's good for teh cruise tomorrow

    So it was an engine mount, and the bracket looks like it has been welded back together a few times.

    I get the car back today, but it still needs quite a few things done.
