Pulley Posted February 4, 2012 Author Share Posted February 4, 2012 Nice work...you would be aswell to have that subframe powder coated whilst it's off the car! i will probably shot blast, etch prime and then polyurethane paint spray the subframe, im refurbing my teins at the same time, i think i may be a little ocd on my car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra Gaz Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Was it difficult to remove the sub frames? im guessing you needed something to stop the suspension from firing out and skewering someone? i want to take mine off while its off the road.
