Blimey, what are you doing to those subframes? :shocked: :grin:

Can't you get someone to weld some skid plates on the new one?

Don't think so dude :( can't be bothered, the car is getting a full respray in summer any way so i will just wait until then :)

Yeah man, the new subframe is getting welded up once it's off the car ;)

Fair play dude! Woulda thought It would have made more sense to paint the 'bay while the engine is out the way but then again you don't seem adverse to ripping your cars apart at any give time lol!

Have you decided on a colour for the respray yet?
