Front subframe replacement JE

This renovated subframe is going on our beloved Espace JE to replace the old one which is slowly corroding away. I found this replacement in Germany, blasted, painted, and new bushes fitted. They aren't available any more, but this is almost as good as a new one :)

Been there, done that.
Found a secondhand in Germany  from an Avantime.

Nice job Anders, wish our flooddamaged 1990 Espace was that easy t6o fix. We have to remove the engine, the MJ3 auto box and all the electrics to overhaul and with summer temperatures now creeping over 100f it means time on the car is limited .
