I should call this... project Cape Breton coal miner, My plan is a general refurb underneath and bushing and linkage renewal. So far under the dirt my Coupe appears to be pretty good. I'd like to remove the subframes for refinishing and leave the motor in place. Is this feasible? Can the motor sit on it's oil pan safely with suitable structure underneath, or does the slant of the motor mean it will want to tip over?
As for the rear, do you need to use spring compressors before unbolting the sub frame (Is it under tension while suspended?)
I'll most likely powder coat the subframes. the front still looks pretty decent after using Varsol to cut through the grime.
