BX rear sub frame removal and de-rusting
Posted: Sat Nov 05, 2011 2:36 pm
A couple of weekend ago I decided to remove the rear-subframe and give a little TLC on my BX 4x4 GTI.
In the process I found that the rear hydraulic lines were in a fairly bad state and one of them split as we gently moved the rear sub frame to the floor. This prompted me to decide that the best move from here was to replace all the pipes while the re-subframe was down and it was easy to access it all :S
anyway, here are a few photos of the removeal and the state of the rear-sub frame after 20 years of neglect...
