you dont want to buy a brand new subframe. there is no reason to and even if you could find one, it wouldn't be cheap. post an add in the classifieds section (which is what you do when looking for parts, not posting in the tech section). i have a couple of them if you feel like driving to ohio

lol, yeah. Everyone has rear sub frames for sale. I just sold mine a couple days ago. It should run you anywhere between $30-150 depending who you buy it from.

Put It on the car if its not already and take it to a FAB shop and have them Weld It it will be fine.

Make sure they weld it wile the chassie is not under stress.

or realy you could weld it off the car just dount quench it and make sure you dont weld it with a 110 welder

Weld it up.

Don't quench it. That will make the weld far too brittle and it will crack beside the weld.

Someone who know how to properly use a 110V welder can do it.
