If all you's are saying that they are heavey and that u can only drag them u must be quiet weak im only 19 and i presume most of you's are over 25, they are not heavy my 17 year old brother can even pick one up, it just might be because you's are not Aussies like me.

is he on about just the frame or with everything still attatched, as it can be heavy that way, but otherwise... it's a feitherweight part of the car, easy!

Right, just weighed one, full rear subframe, no rust, couple of coats of hammerite and underseal, raduis arms on, with full built drum brakes, and mounts and handbrake cable....

Should I just tell you or do people want more guesses or bets? :wub:
