Especially if you are adding sub frame connecters and a cage! Pretty hard to offer an opinion with out pics - the subframe damage is a bigger issue than the trunk and rear seat area.

USA Registered: Sep 2004	posted 02-21-2005 04:09 PM You should complete any chassis work like subframe connectors and cage with the stang on all 4 wheels because it may change the geometry of the car otherwise. So I would keep the stangs weight on the suspension when doing this work. IP: Logged
