and what ever you put back in the car, new or used, add paint.  


I always paint the new ones with marine black.  Benjamin Moore has Super Spec in Alkyd.  Spray or brush it. Thin it with naptha or spirits. Paint, let it dry 24 hours, light sand on the tits and repaint.  2 coats will stand up a long time. 


Get the Hi Gloss Alkyd.

I have all the tools and stuff I need and a buddy of mine powder coats so that's not an issue.

Thanks! I live in east county San Diego. Santee to be specific. Ya if you could let me know that would be amazing. It's something I need to replace before I want to weld on the rear valance and closing brackets.

I might have an extra; Will have to get down to the shop and take a look. It's going to be hydrolastic though, which requires some mods to the spring perch. I have another that I am modding for one of my cars. I'm in north county, Ramona. Spank might have a dry one on the shelf here also.

Our host sells a new one for $366? I'd want $200 plus shipping. But personally I'd buy the brand new one!

Looking for used dry rear subframe. I don't mind refurbing one, mine has rust holes everywhere. Let me know and I don't mind paying shipping.
