where abouts is the bolt? Might be able to come help you out. Had a similar problem with my mk2, cut a section of the floorpan out to weld a new captive nut in then welded the floor back on.

Drill it out then tap a new hole. Will eat quite a few drill bits though. Or try and tack a smaller bolt on and undo it that way but use loads of wd40 etc.

you could try and get hold of some left handed drill bits. So that as they drill it might bring the bolt out. im not talking about stud extractors here btw there are left handed drill bits about some places Laughing if it dont bring it out then the worst its done is drilled a hole for you

it just gets better...

girlfriend got one of her mates to come over and look at the car while i was at work yesterday, and hes snapped one of the easy outs in the bolt... quite why he used a rusty old one i dont know, as i had a brand new one in the same size sat rite near the car.

anyhoo i cant get anythin in there to get the bolt out now...


anyone know a good scrapyard i can get a subframe from?
