How does one do a frame off on subframe car?
i feel your pain. My Z had the fuel pump and distributer go awry on it and then it got sidelined. Sure I'd just put a new pump in, but, same thing, 1/4s rotted, rusty floor with the driver's seat ready to fall through and then it got hit while awaiting to be done corrrectly, all at the same time..
Since I have that in the street, having to be moved all the time for street cleaning, a 20 year daily driver in need of a overhaul or retirement, a purchased replacement daily sitting at someone's house, a non-claimed vehicle stored in my garage and a project car also in the garage, I haven't the time time, place o rfunds to mess with it.
As of last week it was going to donate it's motor to my father-in-laws S10 for a conversion he's been wanting to do ever since I met him. And for all the help he's provided over the years without ever asking for anything in return, it's the least I could do. So, it was supposed to be pushed behind the garage and have the drivline and what ever resusable parts stripped.
However, now the whole was supposed to be towed today to his farmhouse downstate, probably nothing will become of it for a few years. Maybe when one of my kids finally staighten their acts out and things calm down house and healthwise, it'll get ressurected
But, as an opinion, I think I'd shoot it and do the swap. Body work on these things is really a chore for a seasoned pro who really knows what they are doing. Plus "frame damage",
