Some stuff I did over the weekend. Pulled out the subframe. When I did the bushings and linkage about 7 years ago I took forever to get the subframe out, I thought I could never do the job. So I guess it's some progress that now it was pretty easy and I got it out in a day.  I also wire wheeled some undercoating to find where the rust ended and was glad to find clean metal eventually. Today I didn't have much time but I played around with a hvac housing I've had sitting around for ages, hoping to figure it out before I do the evap on my car. It confirmed I really do not want to do that job, but it seems silly to not refresh the possibly leaking evap when at least half the labor is already done. I'm also attaching a picture of the other side rear jackport, which is the worst but I did find clean metal when I got inboard a bit, so I know what I have to rebuild.
