Subframe repair
The repair has been done by the previous owner. It looks like good work and lots of it. Yes, I paid $1500.00. That is about a grand less than these cars are going for on e-bay, but lot's more than I would have spent on a car with these issues. A muddy parking lot is not the place to evaluate a car I admit.
My thought is to improve the cross car bracing that is there now. I can make it more solid and remove an interfeerence with the exhaust pipe.
Now, if any other forum members want to sell me a solid Metro, please speak up and I can let this one go with full disclosure.
The other issue with this car is one poor rear strut and a rust patch in the rear left wheel well. Has anyone done a several square inch patch on these cars? What did you use? I was thinking of galvanized metal, with tar and self tapping screws. Paul
