Subframe replacement

[Flatline]

Decided to change the rear subframe as mine is bent

Got one from 71geoff, thanks buddy

Stripped it down and sprayed it with satin hammerite

So here we are at the end of the day with a few pictures









What else should I consider doing whilst it's in bits like this?

Now would be a good time to fit an undertray I would think

What else?

[VTRDark]

If you are fitting an udertray you could modify the original honda one. Cut out the sections for the D lock etc to make more luggage space. Just a thought. It's something I was considering.

The new subframe is looking very good mate. Nice colour I used spray Hammerite smooth on my top yolk and it took forever to dry.

Good job.

looking good matey, i need to do my subframe the same as yours

[Flatline]

Yep, it takes a while, and re-coating whilst the paint is wet goes against the grain but its given a really good finish

Marty, bring it up and I'll do it for you m8!!

[Flatline]

On the under tray, there is a small mudflap

It had a slight curve to one side

Does this point forwards or backwards?

[benny hedges]

i left that off mine mate as it had a hugger fitted.

[Flatline]

Good point, time to fit the hugger!!

But I am still interested in which way round it goes
