With the gas tank back in the only thing left was to put the rear subframe back into the car. I tried squeezing this delicate activity in between changing my sister's brakes and getting ready to work. Of course my "law of three" took over the situation. My "law of three" is that how ever long you think it will take you to do something on a car it will take three times as long. This applies to most projects as well like building computers, or plumbing, or construction projects, etc.
I was able to wrestle the subframe up into place with use of a motorcycle jack, 3 ton floor jack, and a broom handle. In the process I pressed out some of the new bushings that I have to squeeze back in. I was cut short from finishing this by the impending doom of being late to work and misplacing one of the main nuts for the subframe. There is no telling where it went during the time the project has been stalled. Hopefully i will be able to pick up a replacement tomorrow and slap it together. The subframe is at least got 2 fully attached points out of the 4 that hold it in place.
Hopefully i can pick up the project tomorrow and snap a few pictures of quintessential shade tree mechanic-ism. Stay tuned!
