Edition 30 rolling resto.
mk1mad:
Dropped out the rear axle, it was pretty badly rusted, too far gone. I am going to find a better condition one .
Made up a couple of blanks to block off the brake lines, they came undone ok. Had to be careful dropping the axle.
Even though the car had had new arms I am going to fit all new super pro bushes.
mk1mad:
Got the axle all stripped down.
Badly rusted, don’t think it would have done many more mot’s
Picking a replacement up this week, which will need stripping for powder coating.

Plenty of life left in that subframe.....

You are welcome to have it as a memento :wink:
Found a replacement subframe from a jap import mk6 hardly any corrosion and a bonus of having the xenon levelling bracket and sensor. For another job further down the line.
Subframe is stripped ready for powder coating. Can’t believe how poor they were protected from the factory.

Looking good mate! I must admit my subframe looked worse than that and I powdercoated it 😂 hopefully it will last haha!
Nice job on finding a good one though, looking forward to the progress!
