Next up the rear subframe.

I was quite surprised how good a condition this was considering it has been under a car for 16 years. I have worked on Jags IRS and other marques sub frames which looked a lot worse than this after 10-15 years.

Getting fairly fed up with the angle grinder and numerous knot wheel attachments but its the best way to do this unless you send the parts for sand blasting.
