Now excuse the bad picture quality as taking these photos was rather awkward. But here is both subframe mounts under the floor. Both are loose.

The battery cable that needed to come out the way to drop the subframe.(Black mini)

Some sort of backyard mechanic fuel line. But after some inspection doesn't seem to be in the way.

Had to bring this little guy out for some stubborn and then stripped nuts and bolts.

So after all this both subframes are loose but when we lift the shell the subframes still come with. There's nothing holding on that I can see so I'm really not sure on how to go forward.
It seems to be stuck here, just above the suspension cone. Where subframe and shell meet.

Are there no bolts or anything holding it up onto the shell, to the cross member on the bulkhead? Like these?

And finally my rusty old tip for the day:
When loosening rusty old nuts and bolts before starting to loosen them spray the thread of the bolt with some q20/wd40/etc and then start loosening it. The nut doesn't seem to have to fight as hard to get through all the rusted thread.
