    Not for this job, although i can post a couple of completed pics, lol. Wait until the next job ! Its big, complete rear subframe replacement, my car is mint, however the rear end is falling apart with rust and i cant be bothered struggling with siezed bolts etc, so im replacing the whole rear end with a second hand one sourced in Spain ! Not a pick of rust anywhere, its like new so that will be kicking off soon and i will take photos as we go along detailing how to.

    My garage has done this job for me, but it would be interesting to see exactly how it was done...
