1985 Fiero Rear Subframe Questions

[Ovadia]

Hey guys! So I just got my hands on a 1985 Fiero, and it has a problem: the rear passenger side subframe is severely rusted.

Q1. What will it take to repair this (I've had no luck finding a replacement part)? Will I have to pull the engine out?

Q2. Is there any other subframe that could replace the rusted one, even if I can't find an original?

Thanks for the responses!

You might want to try a junk/salvage yard for a replacement, they usually can check across the country for availibility. A professional will have to see your current frame to determine what has to be done and if the engine has to be removed.

You'll also want to get the solid aluminum cradle mounts to replace the stock rubber ones...www.rodneydickman.com

Thanks guys, that rodneydickman site was really helpful and I'm hopeful that they'll have a subframe and whatever else I need.
