Got the subframe back from the blasters, its a bit pitted in places but still plenty meat left on it!
Coated it in blue steel then will be using POR15.
Plan is to fit solid subframe bushes.
Banbridge poly mounts on the diff, have fitted power flex to the rear diff already.
Been looking into RARBs but whiteline seems out of the picture at the moment?
Have a spare S2 FARB that I might try on the back

After being away got back to working on the S2
Removing subframe bushes using the blow torch method worked a treat.
Gave the subframe two coats of POR15.
Refitting with solid subframe bushes, the diff has a powerflex rear mount already and added two poly mounts from Banbridge.
Wanted to do more underneath as its quite addictive once you get started.
Will look at doing the wishbones when I start the suspension refresh.
The rear diff is now on the list also
Few photos

Got out for a test run today and the improvement is amazing
Dont notice any extra noise or vibration and there was so much slop before on and off power but now its totally tight.
Roads were wet and felt like there was more power getting down to the road and starting to loose traction powering round corners

Passed MOT
Finally got my car back on the road with MOT and tax today
Advisory on the front subframe but its on the to do list.
Got the Avus wheels on with new michelin pilot super sports and hopefully fit the K24R rear brake mod this weekend.
Was great to get out in the S2 today, forgot how much I missed it.
Everything working well and boosting 1.4bar
Before
After
Got the wheels cleaned with a mixture of wonder wheels and tar remover.
Old balancing weights sticky stuff is murder to get off
