The basic take-away from this is that you can lift the body off of the subframe and roll it out from underneath. Then work on the subframe.
Yeah, that sounds like something I can do. The basic steps to remove the subframe should be:
1: Disconnect top shock mounts, driveshaft at flexcoupling, brake lines at chassis
2: Remove front subframe bolts, diffmount bolts.
3: Slide it out.

Sound correct?

Obviously this is simplified, devil is in the details and all, but I should be able to handle most of that without question.

Edit: I've read that there are rear subframe mounts, but I can't find them anywhere on my car or in your pictures. Perhaps I was reading about a W124? It appears to me that the rear subframe connection to the chassis is done through the diffmount, correct?
