subframe fitting

anyone go to put there spohn sfcs in, only to relize they dont fit very well, cos some jerkwad mustve crushed your floorpan with a frame lift?? heh
the driver side one is going to be a little lame, the back half touches mostly, but the front half ehh...
i just spent 20 minutes beating the passenger side with a hammer to get it in as best as I could

man I thought this would be a quick in/out, found out my car sucks and I cant weld all at the same time though, sigh.. april is running out :P

I had a fun time bending back the lower fender mount when I put mine in.

amen... mine is hitting there on the driver side... nothing in hell i can do about that aside from tearing the hole car apart.. heh, that area is seriously crushed
its only about 3/16" out to far, turning back the bolt gave me a little more room (ill just put a couple washers in front)

another downside is im gonna hafta bondo the lower panel there, cos unless i can borrow a slide hammer or something i dont see how im gonna pull that out
