You can but realy to be true you should use the correct RS suframe which is strengthened slightly although the same size and shape etc. (just as you said missing the holes for the 4th mount).
2nd hand subframe = £60
Fitting including doing the tracking = £150
Repaint the roof properly = £200 probably more if other areas of the car are finished poorly
With no pre repair photos it'll be a nightmare to sell on plus i'd say the roof has been creased and knocked out then painted badly
How would it pass an MOT if the subframe does need renewing?
Looks like a total bodge job to me and he trying to get rid of it now that it needs an MOT as its only a CAT D and they don't need any checks unlike a CAT C even though he says its been inspected? by who his mate? it means nothing
