I'm just amazed that Karl found enough good metal to weld anything to. or, perhaps yours is worse :o http://lancisti.net/photopost//showphoto.php?photo=8869 Brian 8227 8) Title: Re: Subframe Mounting Box Post by: neil-yaj396 on 11 September, 2010, 10:47:45 AM I spent several years looking for a Fulvia coupe. I can recall looking at 3 (1 of each series funnily enough) that were in a similar state to this. Amazingly the series 2 and 3 were both runners, and I drove them round the respective vendor's estates without the subframe separating from the bodyshell! As a non welder I correctly assessed that they were beyond my ability to restore/pay to restore.

I made the boxes using the origional nut for the mounting, then the problem of fitting them to NOTHING ! I had to call on the skills of a retired friend to fabricate and weld the box to the car. Only problem this took about nine months to complete ???
