    I'm looking for a solid rear subframe assembly (spindles to subframe and lateral bars) from a GD impreza/wrx/sti to use as a template for my tube chassis project. Closer to free is ideal.

    I don't need calipers, differential or even usable bushings/wheel bearing. It's just being used for measurements for an unknown amount of time.

    Picture of my too crusty 99 subframe that was not usable

    Yes I have that. But then I am going to need help disposing of a non rolling shell.

    It's rusty and it's dusty but it could be worse. Passenger rear corner is missing from accident.
    Depending on how hard it is to swap I was thinking of moving the core support from the shell to the new bugeye turd because that one is a little mangled. What part of the front did you mean. It's basically all still okay some rust in the typical spots. All I really need from it is the front subframe for the race car. I'll make a post soon for all the parts I'm sitting on just being lazy ln taking pictures of stuff and making lists. Also garage is a mess still.

    Pretty much the front subframe in place of this (now) one piece garbage. 20210401_163848~2.jpg

    Hmm yeah I'm keeping the subframe to swap with the na subframe on the 97 impreza if you want that one. Don't need struts and knuckles as far as I know aside from a means to roll the shell out.

    I do also have 2 extra trailing arms already removed. I was going to press in bushings and realized I need more than just a press. So I just bought new arms lol

    Might pass then, i'd prefer not piecing everything together little by little.

    Those trailing arms are in addition to the ones on the shell

    The template i was planning to work with is disintegrating and losing reference points.
