ABY Coupe Front and Rear Subframes

[mackenzie50]

Disastrous MOT yesterday- both front+rear subframes condemned and car now un MOT-able until sourced and replaced.
It's Xmas (as if nobody hadn't noticed) so can't afford silly prices and I need frames that don't require much work (other than paint and rebush obviously)
Anyone come to the rescue?
cheers in advance,
Col.

Theres a minter on ebay if you can stomach the asking price. Just reduced by £140 too

[mackenzie50]

Thanks for spotting that-
sadly too pricey for me.....tho' of course I recognise dwindling supply and increasing demand for these items has pushed up prices

Gutted for you Colin I got mine done a few years back obvious advice is don't scrimp and save if you can help it well worth it in the long run you need to sort all the bushes I replaced the rear diff and everything sealed sprayed etc etc just prolongs the life of the great cars, good luck in your hunt as mentioned by dubmanted theres a couple on ebay and worth checking with Kit on here as he might have a spare??

Thanks for your encouragement Anthony....you know when I bought the car I had said to myself I may have to get the s'frames done in a coupla years..seemed a long time off...and now.. it's exactly 2 yrs later..Doh! Just doesn't help it being Xmas and MOT/insurance /road tax happening at same time, plus I've got a new family too since I bought the S2!!
cheers Col.

Hope someone can come to the rescue. Will keep my ears open if I hear of any. Bad luck needing to do front and back at the same time.

3b or aby? 3b 5 speed should be easy aby 6 could get a v6 front subframe if manual as they fit
rear 20vcq will fit or get yours removed/welded if its not too bad

Hi, I just noticed this for sale

It's the diff for sale but the subframe is still there.
Might be worth contacting the seller about the sub frame? They might have a front one too?

(even my wife has been checking ebay etc for me tonight)

Have you emailed audibits?

Is this for your 3B or ABY?

It is written in the beginning that he is searching for ABY.
