Subframe and Trailing Arms

Drilled and chiseled out the remnants of the bushing that was stuck to the body.

Couple of battle scars from drilling out the aluminum bushing parts, only superficial marks the structural integrity is still good.
Had the same result with the passenger side, currently in the process of drilling and chiseling this side out as was done with the driver's side. Not going quite as smoothly as the first one so I will let this sit overnight with a good soaking of penetrating lube.
While I am waiting for the pentrating lube to act I installed the new trailing arm bushings. Probably one of the smoothest installs on this build so far. I'll let the freshly painted subframe dry for another day before I bolt the arms back on.
