The subframe is back from the welder!!!!

The first pic shows the worst of the rusted area after the frame had been in an acid bath. The second shows the same area. The control arms are just being test-fitted.

The plan is eventually to paint this black but I am leaving for Nova Scotia very soon and won't be back until September. So, for now, I will temporarily bolt the subframe back in 'as is' to ensure the main chassis rails don't spread apart under the weight of the engine during the summer. The engine has been supported while the subframe has been out. So it should bolt straight back in but we'll see how it goes!!!!!
