Got the subframes back where they belong.  The one going in the Santorin car took a bit longer because I’m working on stripping off all the reasonably usable parts and so I pulled the rear brake calipers off.

I’d also noticed on the top of each subframe near the rear bushings the top part of the subframe’s had a small rust spot developing.  This was common to both cars so I assume there is some rubbing that naturally takes place at that spot and allows the rust to form.  I cleaned the spots up and then applied some rust-oleum paint to try and prevent and more corrosion taking place.

My first thought was to try and mount the subframe leaving the coilovers in place, but that turned out to complicate the process so I yanked the coilovers out and then put the subframe in place.

I shifted around the two subframes today getting them into their respective positions for re-installing on the new cars.  It was a bit of work getting the two moved since at this point floor space in the garage is at a premium.  With both cars in the garage and the motor out of the one along with all of the other parts there isn’t a whole lot of room to be dragging around something as large as the subframe and axles.

I still need to swing the Silver cars subframe around so I can mount it onto the Santorin car.

I also pulled a couple of the plates off the underside of the Santorin car to swap onto the Silver car.  There was a little bit of rust forming on the Silver cars plates in the area of the fuel tank and since it was easy enough to get to right now I decided I’d swap them.

Got around to removing sub frame number two from the Silver car and detaching the drive-shaft from it.  There won’t be any need for the drive-shaft to be connected when it goes into the Santorin car.

Now I need to get this piece onto the Silver car, first though I’ll try and remove the drive-shaft so it’s a little less wieldy to handle.
