I was wondering the same thing...it appears I have to replace a top motor mount bracket; I'll probably torch weld it or buzz it clean with a mig.

I would mig the damn thing! If you have a tig and are good with it then tig it!

if at all possible i'd TIG weld it. sure the MIG will be fine but the tig does a much better job of it. :cool:
