Picked up a clean 95 ATX, with a ton of mods to it, but it needed a little work. Digging around I noticed the AL SFB's were on incorrectly. He had both stacked on top of each other between the SF and the chassis. I have no idea how he didn't notice the SF shifting all the time, but he didn't.

Taking the bushings off to put them on properly I noticed most of the nuts had broken loose. Likely from the SF shifting back and forth. I was able to get them off and upon attempting to replace them I struggled with several of the nut plates since they were no longer attached.

Particularly the left rear. It happens to be missing completely. I tried feeling around w my finger and a piece of wire to see if it moved a little, but apparently it moved a lot. I couldn't dig it out or feel it at all. Can it be accessed through the interior? I'm going to get a flexible magnet to see if I can locate it, bit i need may need to try other measures. Any Ideas?

If the recall has been done to it, you can get to in from the interior. If not, look up instructions on here for the sub frame recall, and you should still be able to get to it from in the car, you just have to make your own 2" hole.
