Are Welded Subframes Legal?
(Preview)
I’m considering buying a 1952 Chevy in Alberta and bringing it home to Ontario. The front suspension has been replaced with a Camaro subframe. I’m getting mix info about whether this will pass MOT inspection. Has anyone run into this since the last changes to the inspection process?
