I've seen worse too, just that area is an utter c**t to repair. It's not a simple plate job like it would be elsewhere.
Going to try and blag some favours from some welders/fabricators I know.
TBH, fitting the subframe won't show me anything until it's fully built up and sat on the floor, so no. The old subframe was noticeably out of line by sight and when removing the alignment components.
Decided to f**k this scraping off, banged this into it instead...
Which results in a lot of dust...
Unfortunately, I'd spent a lot of time at work today using a grinder. So after 2 hours and lots of cramp, I only got this far...
And the areas that I've found to repair so far...
Just poked 2 holes into the sill area, right next to one of the bloody subframe mounting points. Awesome.
I've also come to the conclusion that I need a heat gun, took 2 hours to scrape about 0.5m2 of underseal off.
Got the rest of the remaining parts off now. Fuel tank, heatshields, coilovers, rear bumper/lights and rear brake lines.
Took a photo of the fuel lines for future reference...
Tank and straps off. Left the filler thingy on, the bracket was just twisting rather than the one crusty bolt...
They do until you start working on them. They never got under sealed properly by Nissan when they were made. They just sprayed what they could when it was built up.
Apologies if it's a repost, searching on Tapatalk sucks.
