some subframe fun!

well, turns out all my recent towing/bombing down cut lines/driving where only 4x4's should go/hooning has resulted in some premature failures of a few 965 components, bent up the subframe a bit, so went and grabbed one at the wreckers today, added a little bit of support...

nothing terribly pretty, just blasted off with a pressure washer and gravel-guarded, but should hold up for the time being.

Mig welds are underappreciated.

Looks good, be thankful you have the resources! Most are not as lucky to even have a welder for times like these...
