Front floor, exhausts and subframe.

I really need a telephoto lens one day to capture these little guys without disturbing them.

Derusted with a flap disc and a 'polishing disc'. Now it 'only' needs a de-grease, a coat of paint and fresh bushings...

I used a spare alternator tensioning bolt and couple of extra hanger bushings to mount the exhaust hanger in the correct position.

70x120 second subframes, iso800.

Total exposure 2 hours 19 minutes.

Here is where I used the upper half of the S14 front diff mount as a locking washer for the diff cover mounting bushings.

To reduce engine movement a full set of engine, transmission and subframe mounts were installed. This results in less engine slop between shifts and smooth acceleration off the line.

All cleaned and ready for installation!

Body work before the new subframe can be fitted.

While Tony had everything apart putting the roll cage in, he also reinforced the subframe by going a continuous weld (beyond the factor spot welds).

This is a 2000 M coupe, with no engine mods. It sees track use but otherwise gets pampered. :) At 50k miles there were zero signs of problems, this was purely preventative maintenance.

Installed by TC Design.

all 4 bushes fitted on the subframe. Ready to by bolted onto the marlin chassis now

The first (landing), timber subframe fitted ready for render & window

all rear wishbones fitted onto the subframe. Not sure how tight to torque things up but it may tell me in the Bentley manual. Not sure if the arms should move freely or be a bit more stiff as I have them and able to support their own weight

Powdercoated front subframe. Can also see some of the additional welding we did around the towers and sheet metal joints for strength.
