Hey Everyone, My front sub frames are done. cracked rotten....the pieces under the floor pans, toward the engine seem to be ok. So the question is do I harvest or fabricate. I already have a donor to harvest. I plan to build a set of subframe connectors anyway so if I fabricate how should I build them? Any ideas would be great. Thanks

Nothing is impossible but the front sub frame is part of the whole body. There's no easy way to just swap it out with another one.

I know it's not the same part, but I would say it's a good read before you take on such an involved project. Be sure you know what you've got before you get started and what you're getting back if you have a shop do the work.

Thanks for the input.... I do understand that this is not a quick fender patch, and not for the faint of heart, and will require much planning and lots of inspection....and I know when to draw the line, I turfed my last car because the rear frame rails, floors and firewall were done. So I know when to stop All that said the options available 1- professional quote 2- harvesting a donor and replacement 3- fabricating an replacement I was looking for some way to fabricate a solution and interested in some ideas and paths to consider. Thanks

Everything can be repaired. The question to ask though is it worth it? Spending $5000 to fix a vehicle that's only going to be worth $2000 isn't a good option.
