Complete subframe with sway bar and control arms

Full details of this restoration can be viewed at www.classiccarprojectshop.com

The new subframe is finally bolted into position. Next I need to rebuild the radius arms and then move onto sorting the floorpans properly.

Bushings removed. :)

Controller under the subframe a much better position

Rear subframe ready to be de-bushed

Bolt in subframes proved to be a nightmare and the battery box.... don't even ask!

Subframe in, calipers wheels and discs on, BC racing all round

Front subframe with upper wishbones, lower arms & top mounts fitted.

new welded - because of hairlines - paintet and sealed front frame.

Bushings removed. :)

Really like the details in tying in the subframe. Minor changes for the VTEC subframe, though..

Rear of subframe, with felt pads that sit between subframe and steering rack

Subframe brakeline details

Stacked from ten subframes. Taken in intense moonlight. The comet is a tiny fuzzball, slightly above centre of the image, seen in Gemini.

After a week of soaking that stubborn bolt in WD40 each night it still wouldn't budge so I dropped the car as low as I could get it as it was rocking on the axle stands when I tried to free the bolt.

Cut the body work away around the point where the trailing arm was bolted in and this allowed me to get a breaker bar in straight on the socket with no extensions (broke another adapter this morning).

With a steel pole over the breaker to get a bit more leverage the bolt finally gave out with an almighty shriek. I was going to have to get the angle grinder on it if this hadn't worked but really didn't want to risk damaging important bits

Het achterste subframe is het verste weg, en zat vreemd genoeg ook vol zand. De Mehari wordt momenteel bijeengehouden door de kabelboom ;-)
