aye to fix them captive nuts involves cutting a hole in the footwell and welding them back down!  Not a job for the faint hearted  :grin:

I bought a subframe off the same bloke he had 2, cost £35.
Doing the Job on saturday, got my Dads Mk4 Ani to drive about in (he's in Barbados, so don't tell anyone I borrowed it :grin:)

well its done, only took 3 and a bit hours this morning, which I didn't think was too bad considering I've not done this before!

Only problem I had was 1 anti roll bar linkage snapped when I was taking it off (the bit that connects the anti roll bar to the wishbone), I've got 2 coming on monday, so will get them fitted then.

The tracking is now out slightly and I'm guessing camber as well cos the steering is very light now!
maybe cos anti roll not connected though?

Hopefully this is the only probelm for a good while!!! :wink: :wink: :wink:
