Subframe out and ready to be repaired.

Update: second car runs after the oil pan swap. Need to find a pan for car one now. Also need to find a subframe. Now that I have two I think we will do some suspension work to the offroad car as we put it back together

Drove it last night :)

I saw that one on craigslist! Was trying to get my brother to buy it. Think it'll run after a pan swap?

[AZRRC]

Started off needing an exhaust and an engine crossmember and came across this auto with a smashed pan

not sure what the plan is yet

[mikeday]

wow! i've only broken mounts and arms, that subframe crack is impressive

[GunMetalGrey]

Wow, that's a pretty crazy place to have a subframe break! Good thing you had a skid plate to hold the motor in place lol.
Pretty easy to swap out if you have an engine support bar or engine hoist.
Thank you for the dimensions

Found out where the vibration was coming from... Cracked the subframe at the motor mount. Sorry for the crappy pic. The oil pan landed on the skid plate and held the motor up.

Can you grab the measurement from the ground to the hood lip, and trunk lid?
Curious how high up you are, and fender measurements aren't too much good for me because I have any early model.

From the center of the hood to the floor 31"
Bottom trunk to the floor 33"

[AZRRC]

Ya, i will measure for you when i get home.

80 miles of dirt yesterday and at one point the fuel pump locked up so we took it out and beat it on the trunk and it started working again. Time to look for a spare.
