Rear subframe replacement…

Steve left his MGF 1.8 mpi (paint code CMU) with us for replacement of the rear subframe. Steve had sourced his own subframe and not gone for one of our galvanized ones. Steve had sourced a secondhand frame and had prepped and painted it up himself in Hammerite paint.

The usual crusted and corroded bolts removed and replaced along with gear-box oil change, clutch fluid and hydragas lift. The flexi-exhaust section had certainly seen better days and fell to pieces, so this was replaced, along with one of the ball joints. Car all now sorted and ready for collection.

It wasn’t the week we had planned, we had to do a bit of a switch around with the away jobs last week that should have been this week and the subframe last week done this week, due to personal family circumstances. Big thanks to everyone for their understanding and being so accommodating. Although, instead of the contingency of a 3-4 day plan for a rear subframe swap, doing it in 2 days is doable, but we’d not like to do it that way all the time as a bit stressy, all doors firmly shut, radio off and heads down, but we got the job done! 👊🏽 – https://ift.tt/jLRCgNI
