I believe you're talking about the 91 30 you got from me? If so, I
bought it in Richmond and my research found it had lived its life in Ma
before coming to Va, probably via an auction.

LR subframe mount appears to be welded to the body by corrosion of
AL-FE. Soaking it now. Tried beating with no effect. tried bar,
but that bends the frame tube. Flame wrench is not an option because
I don't have one. Besides, burning rubber stinks and leaves carbon
black on everything.
Subrame mount has aluminum center for the bolt, and the body stud is
steel.
Any earlier MB would have rotted away. This one just has a few
cancer spots, but the nuts on the brake lines and hoses are corroded
to 2-3 mm less OD than original. Looks now like I should probably
replace all or part of the brake line to the ABS unit too.
My Dallas 124 is much nicer to work on. even after 10 years or so in
IA. No rust.
Max, if your subframe is not rusty, I may take you up on that....
The other 124 I got out of VA 15 yrs ago or so was not rusty. (300TE)

Diff is only connected to subframe. I think you've hit all the right
points.
I've got a spare subframe (no diff or axles) you can have if you want to
drag it away from SC.
