what chassis is that anyway?

Chassis is W201
Engine mount "pedestals" are sitting on 3/16 steel bent to the contour of the original crossmember.
I plan on making another crossmember on the bottom going between control arm pivots, also a strut tower brace.
Rear subframe is another story, might just make aluminum bushings or solid mount. Anyone seen a solid mounted w201 rear subframe?
Need to beef up the 4 torque loaded link mounting points with gussets.
Most likely getting an '03 ford explorer aluminum 8.8
