Re: Paul's k3
Hey Catsam, You've recently removed a subframe from a K3, aside from pipes and wires, how long did it take?

Re: Paul's k3
I can't really say how long it took me to remove the subframe as I did it in my spare time over about 2 weeks

Tony When I did my K3, the removal of the Subframe on the front took about an hour once I had spent 2 days freeing off seized nuts & bolts, whilst the rear took me about 3 hours, again after freeing and cutting off even more seized fixings. I suppose times reflect the condition of the subframes and what you need to remove to make them light enough to manhandle J

Re: Paul's k3
Thank you Jaybee, I might have to do the necessary removal of the two subframes prior to shipment and storage. Cheers

Re: Paul's k3
Catsam. Well done job! Are you going to top coat with gelcoat and cover the gelcoat with some flashtape so it gives a smooth finish. When it's gone off sand with 240 work down to 1500 then paint to match?

Re: Paul's k3
I was not happy with the other side of the car so I cut a bit more out of the wheel arch

Re: Paul's k3
I don't know what to do with it gloss paint or I could paint with textured paint or cover it with something I think might paint and if I don't like it I could cover with something and make I look good
