The subframe

This is sort of where it starts, the subframe is built completely independently of the rest of the car and contains all you need to make a self contained driven unit. It's fairly easy to remove from the car so it's the easiest way to swap out the current petrol engine (ICE). Ideal for this kind of project. It turns out the Smart fortwo 450 has the same subframe as the Roadster 452 apart from the 450 has an anti roll bar and a slightly different hand break cable position, but the 450s are much more readily available so easy to find, I've bought this one from someone from the Smartz forum, it's in good condition and after a quick jet wash it's ready for a qui
ck sand and a coat of paint.
