Rear subframe overhaul, advise needed
Hi guys not been on here for a while but need some advice.
Car is a '98 classic UK turbo. I have the MOT coming up this weekend and the rear sub frame is badly rotten. First of all can anyone recommend where to source a replacement? The ones on eBay seem to be very pricey?!
What bushes/serviceable items am I likely to need to replace when doing the job as I assume the new sub frame will come bare and without bushes (will be up s##t creek without a paddle if she's off the road waiting for parts). Was contemplating changing the filler neck pipe as I have read these are prone to corrosion and that the sub frame has to be removed to gain access. Where is the best place to source a replacement and roughly how much do they go for?
Thanks for any advice!!
