today i dropped the atx subframe, totally degreased and pressure washed the entire engine bay. painted the whole engine bay and subframe, and reinstalled the mtx subframe.
2 rear subframe bolts spun inside, had to cut hole to get wrench onto them, used an air chisel. my dads gonna weld them up for me (been a welder for 35 yrs).
