Looks great! :thumbsup:

I think it was all stagged, I don't see any tools on the floor or mess anywhere.

Looks great! Good job getting done so quick.

All that's left is an alignment (and set ride height). Got it running tonight and drove it around the block.

Kudo's to you for doing a subframe swap in such a short period of time.

Okay so how many hours total in the swap ???

I'm guessing I have a solid 45 hours in it total since Friday afternoon. Quite a few of the little things took a lot longer than I expected, but isn't that typical. lol

That and the ceiling outlet and cover needs to be switched to grey. The car was on jackstands pretty close to it and I just didn't feel like using a screwdriver over my head anywhere near the car. :D

Scott,

I'm curious, where the recessed area is in the subframe for the front oil drain plug, do you have enough room to remove/install?

Thanks,
Bill

No, you cannot use the front drain plug, it's noted in the DSE documentation. There's a provision in the frame for clearance though. You just use the side drain plug.

:lol: The floor held up awesome. I did some grinding, welding, steel wheels, dollies, floor jacks, jackstands... and there's only a few scuffs. I'm happy. :cheers:

Scott did I see a run in the paint on the sub frame, or was it just the glair off the floor.Looks great . Did you do all this work in your garage in were the shot's taken in your kitchen.Scott:thumbsup: :lol:

You could tell me you were putting either one in and I would be impressed with the up grade over stock. Very nice.

So Scott, first off very nice. what to start with first. Car?Garage?Subframe?Job well done?

I vote for all of the above.

I also am curious, anybody in line to purchase the other subframe?

Thanks for posting up the pictures.
