Rear subframe

The rear subframe was completely rotten away while the car stood outside for years. There were holes in critical spots. People online advised us not to weld, since this is dangerous!

The subframe was painted, and I used a bitumen undercoating for the inner side of the frame, so as not to let it rust again.

The rubbers got replaced by teflon material.
