    Sure why not.
    I haven't got an opinion from the mechanic though, so I'll see first what he says next week.


    Hi CiniO.... the few lads I know all drew a blank sorry! A few cars were scrapped recently due to shortage of space in yards.. :( genuinely didn't think they would be so rare.

    Will still keep an ear open.

    I rang fiat dealer this morning, but guy said he thought it was ridiculous to buy new subframe for such old car, so he didn't even bother checking the price for me. He just said he recently sold one for punto which was about 700 + vat.
