Hey all.

My 01 Fire GT has the usual rear subframe rot. I probably have about 2 years left until it won't pass inspection anymore. Has anyone had this replaced and how much did it cost you? Besides the paint the rest of the car is in really good shape so I'm trying to weigh my options of replace or repair it and drive it for a good many more years.

rear subframe?

what rear subframe? you mean the torsion beam?

if it's body rot that's the body man, no 'sub' about that part of the frame at all.. you're looking at quarter panel replacement.

hes talking about the unibody "framerails" and yes mine did it too, i corrected most of this when i welded my air spring cups into the framerails. just use some C channel and some metal plate to rework them. cust out all the rust you can and start tacking it back into place. It will end up better than before just sucks to so. Make sure to use some weld though primer too. Most of its too thin to lay a good bead on.
