sub frame & plastic compatability

My 01 speedy is in need of repair. Sub frame and plastics are all guaranteed to be replaced. I'm wondering what my options are as far as the sub frame that can be attached and if the corresponding plastics from that year will match up to the tank of my 01?

You need the matching subframe, plastics and seats all from the same year. Possibly also the battery box/inner fender - although you might manage to make the old one work.
01 Tail looks soooo much better than 02 (in my opinion) be shame to change it up.
As far as the subframe goes - can it be straightened? Not like it affects handling & is predominantly hidden by the plastics. So if you can get it somewhat back into shape might save you a few dollars.

bend it back

Got any sugestions on how to go about bending the subframe back into condition? The under body plastic is a little busted up, it broke two of the mount points, but there would be no reason i couldn't tap new holes in the subframe and remount it.

I suppose all i really need is measurements and a torch?

I have a friend that has a bunch of parts if you want to contact him. He would get rid of them cheap. Just wants them out of his garage. PM me for info.
