Interesting perspective of an SVX
I got a wrecked parts car this summer for the rear subframe to resurrect the '97 that I have. I pulled the engine/transmission a month or so ago. This weekend I pulled the one "good" body panel, the RH door, and the rear quarter roll-down glass (curved part was broken already), and set about getting to the rear suspension however I needed to...

When I started disconnecting the driveshaft I realized why, the rear diff is seized solid Got the exhaust off, dropped the diff with the driveshaft attached, broke loose several of the subframe bolts. Nothing putting up a major fight, yet. Left it soaking in BG penetrating oil. I'm cautiously optimistic on this project. |

Interesting approach.
Is the Teal SVX in the background your '97?

Yep, that's the one I hope to get back on the road. Mount for the LH trailing arm is broken off the subframe. Car is pretty rusty, but is a pretty good car otherwise.

Interested to see progress on this. Amazing pics of that hog tied 92.
