Default (NA) Front Subframe

1990 front subframe. Couple spots of surface rust but never wrecked or damaged. 125 shipped. Good frame to modify for conversion.

Oh yeah good point for a Ford build. I was of thinking I would use mine for a V6 build to do a grassroots motorsports $201x challange car someday.

It's a good thing to put up for sale. A lot of guys purchase a front subframe in the beginning of the monster miata conversion to send off to get modified. That way they don't have to tear their car apart and wait for the modified piece to come back. Then after the conversion, they sell their original just like this. Good luck.

Might I further add it would help to know where (geographically speaking) the part was located for shipping or pick up purposes

I kind of agree, but it does say $125 shipped. So why does it matter were it is?

In case it is close enough for someone to pick it up instead

If the guy was interested in a stranger stopping by his house, he would have said so. I know I would rather take the hit on shipping something than deal directly with someone. Because 90% of the time when someone shows up, all they want to do is deal. Not worth it.

That is exactly what I did so I could keep my car online as long as possible before tear down. I know there are guys out there with much better fabrication skills than myself that might be interested in the k frame to experiment with.

As far as location....Northeast Ohio. I am not opposed to meeting someone local but I didn't think about it when i posted.

Very true but the farther they come the more leverage you have!

Not sure who you are asking but not many guys will see this here. You might want to post an introduction thread and tell us about the project. Mention that you are looking for a frame and you will probably find one. Any LS build will have an extra one lying around and there are several on the east coast.

The original thread was about selling a front sub frame so I was wondering if the owner still had it. It was a shot in the dark. I would have liked to have a spare to start my mods before taking the car apart.
