I’m hoping to be back early next year for a rear subframe and suspension overhaul, that I wouldn’t trust to anyone else.

And this is in addition to her exceptional contributions to this forum and the fact that she’s a really nice person! Round of forum applause for MJ please
+ 1 too
There must be a queue now for rear subframe mounts....

I'm hoping that full rear setup that Ronin found recently is viable. I'll probably order a set after this one is done

Back on its wheels for the first time in two months! No error codes either



Went to attach the new plates and discovered the PO had glued the rear on with silicone which is a novel approach



I mechanically removed as much as I could and have left it soaking in WD40 overnight so hopefully road test tomorrow.

The rear plate attachment was a quality job by the PO!
Good to see it all back together MJ
