MoT failure

[adamsclan]

My 2004 model coupe, 76k miles, 100% reliable, fitted with APS turbo kit just failed its MoT due to rusted subframes, front and rear, and chassis rust where these parts connect.

Are replacement parts available?
Such a shame and such a waste to scrap it when the rest of the car is in very good condition.

Hi mate rear subframe is aluminium I think, photos rust would help you here mate

Should have taken pics of the rusted areas when the garage had the car up on the hoist!
Can't take it to the garage now as it's off the road.
I'm surprised you say it is aluminium from what I recall of the holes in it.

Maybe I'm a bit confused about what parts are actually rusted but without being able to get underneath and have a good look, I'm stuck.

At the rear, it is usually the "W" bracing and bracing stays (kidney brackets) that suffer from corrosion.

 

The rear subframe is aluminium as Paul has said, so does not corrode.

 

Photos require to provide informed advice.

Definitely have to get the car up on the hoist again to ascertain just what is rusted.

The MoT failure clearly says subframe corroded but perhaps the garage meant something different.

Many thanks for all the comments and help - much obliged!

So from that is read it as w brace or kidney brackets, 

the front w brace has become holy, and your front sills have apparently got holes, 

 

I am currently doing similar ish repairs to a customers 350, w brace kidney brackets, fitting kit from tarmac sports and the parts are in the region of £450-500, add the other w brace on you’ll be looking at over a grand easily tbf without the emissions or brake pipes depending on if the bolts come out niceley
