Rear Subframe front mountings

I've got some rot in the whole panel there underneath the rear seat so
obviously it's going to be an MOT failure.
Anyone have any experience changing the whole panel rather than just the
subframe mounting points. Obviously the whole panel will have to be cut
out and a new one welded in but how do I make sure the panel is welded
in straight as this will affect the geometry of the rear subframe and
ultimately the rear wheels ?
Also the back mountings have gone aswell but these won't be such a
problem as they can be done with the subframe in situ

Any help appreciated

Cheers

Hi Jim,
I did this job some years ago, and asked the same questions as you ,
We started with the rear sub frame mounts , welded the new parts in to
position, bolted everything back together,
This then became the datum line (so to speak)
we then removed the sub frame ,chopped the rear panel out, tack welded the
new panel in to position,
then offered the S/frame back up,
checked the position of the rear panel and most importantly ,, the rear most
(new mountings)...
When everything lined up correctly, we made some more tack welds, then
removed the S/Frame and finished welding the panel in, knowing that the sub
frame will go back exactly in the original position, measuring the wheelbase
diagonally helps with alignment also,

Nice one Fitzy, Almost the same way I had thought but I was thinking of
doing it the otherway around (Front mounting panel first the rear
mounts) Now you've said to do it the other way makes more sense as the
new rear mounts won't be as worn so there should be less margin for error.
It looks like I'll have to pop the car round the Father inlaw's for a
few weeks as the missus has just shown me the MOT fail sheet ... this
lot may take some time ! and it's a tad too much to fix out in the road
and he said I can rob his garage anytime !

Offside rear subframe mounting
Offside rear floor subframe mounting
Nearside rear outer sill subframe mounting
Offside rear battery tray subframe mounting

Just glad I have stacks of welding gear :-, think I'd better get a
heftier MIG from BOC too !!
and with that lot it won't matter a **(k if I shear off the subframe
bolts :-)
Thanks again
Jim

Will do ! It'll take a few weeks before I can make a start and get the
panels etc and then I'll try and remember to take some pics as I work.
Hopefully I'll manage to grab a rear quarter panel too as the last one I
put on seems to be a mess (understatement)
Well it looks as if I'll be biking all through the winter again this year !

Fitzy....Don't you think that Peter is really a queer name? Talking
about rear mountings and all.

Fitzy likes rough man sex with his lover, Taffy. They look like a couple
of horny hobbits.

I dunno, I could do with a little man sex myself. OTOH, since I like
women too, you could strip off the "man" part of that phrase and it
would still be true.

"You never asked someone who goes into areas of the internet that are
only for adults who has an underage id somehow or another if they are a
cop posing as an underage person online?
I guess lots of people just don't watch dateline or read stories much.
Why don;t you go to pervertedjustice,com and see what they do. They are
awash in their self-proclaimed glory after they lied to membners of the
public.
They are awash in their self-proclaimed glory after they posed as an
underage person and agreed to do all sorts of sex acts wioth adult
males, and they are adults posing as teenager themselves. They make
themsleves into liars by falsely impersonating underage persons and by
not fuilfilling the words they tell the victims online in their chats.
Why don't you read it where they tell these victims of their deceit
about how they have been with grown men and such? Why don't you read it
where they say, "That would be cool." after someone makes an advance
towards an adult who is posing as a teenager? And, where they agree to
meet the person, etc.
Lost control, didn't you?
Is that why you feel as if you need to lie so much now? I see where lots
of these false impersonation games are not sticking. They feel as if
they can lie and then order the victims to get counseling in the
gayblade, governmental, pro-choice tax leech counseling centers. They
are doing nothing more than usury and fraud in many cases." -- Wentzky
