Subframe rust

Post by jarvo »

Hi guys...

I need help with a subframe I just picked up. The front is pretty good, minimal rust but the back end it terrible.
the lower legs are almost nonexistent due to the rust, so I was wondering if anyone else has seen this and fixed it? Did you need an engineers report after fixing it? Or should I just give up and say it was a bad evilbay purchase and keep searching for a better one?
yep... someday...

Thanks guys,

I think Rare Spares also have them, I was just worried because I dont know the length of the replacement legs... the rust on my current ones go pretty far back. I might take a pic tonight and post it.

If they are long enough then I am happy to put the replacement legs on this subframe :D

I just checked out his ebay store. He is 1/2 the price of Rare spares which is great but only does local pick up, no deliveries, which is annoying seeing how he is in Brisbane and Im in Melbourne :x

sorry i didnt get back to you Trev, there is a guy around the corner from my house who is eventually getting a subframe in, he reckons the dog legs are perfect but the front needs a little work, if its the right price, I will get it, if not, I will wander down the Taylors/Rare Spares path again :)


Cheers
