Nearly charged 309 GLX Special Equipment
#91
Another little update here. Yesterday was the day of the front GTI subframe build and swap. Freshly rebuilt front subframe consisted of stripping and re painting, new 309 GTI wishbones, OEM anti roll bar bushes, new drop links and shiny new high tensile bolts.
To be truthful, the job was a complete doddle! I allowed around 4 hours to build the subframe, remove the old one, replace with new subframe and get it all set up and driving. Took about 2 hours including building the new one first which wasn't bad going I thought.
I have however found out my gear linkages are absolutely fudged! As is my rear engine stabilising mount Sad they will be replaced some this coming week.
Anyways here's just a few little piccys of the job itself.

Excuse the dirty old mess that is the underside of my car. It'll be looking lovely soon Wink

That's about it for the moment. I'm STILL waiting to receive my manifold back from TIG welding which isn't good as its been gone over 2 months!
