Right been down today and have loosened the rear 2 bolts on the subframe but for some reason they are not dropping out. Are they meant to or are they part of the subframe even when completly loose? Also does the subframe drop out or does it need hammered out.
All to do now is remove the front...
Good! I like the sound of that. I was working on her today and diconected the steering rack, the two wishbones for the suspention turrets, the antiroll bar, the bottom engine mount, the exhaust from the mainfold and the gear selector. Hopefully i will have the front subframe out by tommorow...
You better! lol. I have a lot to do to it so Feb is when i except it to be finnished. Does any one know if the engine can stay in while talking the front subframe out? John I am going down tommorow to get the bonnet off and a few other bits, so have a Happy New Year. See you all next year!

Just back from my garage and had my mechanic (my uncle lol) take a look at it. The front subframe is definatly bent so the engine is now coming out and a new front suframe has been sorced! Was going for a possible engine converson but cash wont allow it so I am sticking with the Rt engine but...
Thats good to hear XTR, cheers. Just been looking at it again and noticed the subframe seems to be diffrent on each side, was wondering if anyone with a Mk1 Clio can confirm if it should look like this?

Right just been down and had a proper look at the damage and taken a few photos. The wishbone defo needs changed as its hit the kerb and has a dent in it, should i change the balljoint bolt whilst im at it?
Also the antiroll bar looks a bit damaged, do you reckon it needs replaced as well...
Ill have to see whats acctually up with it. Hope its nothing too bad! If theres a major problem i will rebuild her with some wild plans! Watch this space!
