Yes I can see it would be quite a complex job to retain the original subframe, not really worth the extra effort. D pillar looks like the logical place to cut and weld. Just make sure you hang on to any left over bits, I need patterns for fabrication! Initially I'm planning to get some lengths of subframe channel made up, and hopefully the sheetmetal sections for the crew seat as well. If this is possible I'll get a few spares folded up at the same time for potential future projects. If yours are badly rusted you may be interested too, I'll give you a ring to discuss.

Hi Tony, great idea... we can pattern from my crew seat if you like - I'm sure there will be several other projects in need of this.
