Rear Subframe removal with Louis.

Me and Louis talking about the  the following steps.
We decided because the car is staying on the drive so long as  the Sprite 
still has to stay in a few more weeks we choose to keep thee windows in and the doors 
on to keep rain and cats out.
Is a bit of a risk I know , let it fall and broken glass.
Anyway off we went trolley jacking up the rear end first.


Rear subframe bolts loose and trolley jack it up..
2 bolts left against the heel board 2 bolts right against the heal board and the bolts in the boot.
fuel line and hand brake loos.

Dont forget the nuts from the shocks.. dohhh..

Up Up and away..

Noow hard you think a mini is you always discover rust and more work than you imagined.


Even though 1978 it aint so bad.

Curious to know what will be left over after getting it sand blasted.

Taadaa the rear subframe..
Even though it looks in dire straits this one is a good one..
No welding required just media blasting coating in epoxy and then factory black.
