My indy has my 124 today and is replacing the subframe mounts in an effort

road, is there anything else I should have him do while he's in there? I've
heard vague talk of fuel lines, hard brake lines, and the fuel tank strainer
all being easier to get at with the subframe down. (I'm not having a
problem with any of those that I know of, but I'm thinking in terms of
long-term preventive maintenance since I intend to be driving this car on my
deathbed, like Lt. Don.)
I have had the hard brake lines of 3 '84-87 201/124 chassis cars rust
out in the last year. It's MUCH easier and less expensive to replace
them with the subframe out. Two of my cars had to deal with the ravages
of Pittsburgh winters, but one lived most of it's life in the Washington
DC area.
