Mini night delayed one day in order to match the family's schedule better. On the menu tonight, rear subframe! Here's what I am starting with:

I've stripped the old subframe of all the parts and found that the old subframe is pretty rusty. Good thing that the new bodyshell came with a new(ish) rear subframe.

First task, clean up the surface rust, add gussets and weld up the seams:

Now I need to finish cleaning up the radius arms and order some more POR15 so I can paint the subframe. I also need to go and get some more Waxoyl to fill the crevices and make sure that this subframe lasts!
