Hi - The car I'm getting the subframe from is a nice clean car, low miles, and no oil leaks, so I think it will be a good donor. The yard should have it pulled for me on Monday, also the strengthing kit is at the dealer's, so I'll pick it up on Monday also. Should be able to get the car back together sometime this coming week. I'm thinking I should install new motor mounts at the same time, also new lower control arm bushings, although the old ones do look ok. I have a new subframe bushing kit on hand also. I will for sure check out the steering gear adjustments while in there. I will also have to spring for new front tires, as the old ones wore down on the inside inch or so right to the steel cords - they were fine before my last trip of 8 miles or so! I'll try to remember to take some pictures!
