I need to know if i keep it, fix it soon or now, or sell her.
I need to do the subframe. I have the subframe. But I need to know if this car is reliable enough for the winter time to take my DD out of comission and work on it. What is there to check? Pictures? I need input. I need to do brake lines, but that would come after i do subframe(right after, but i would do it first so i dont have to bother saving the lines or working around them
I just cant drop my park avenue and be screwed out of winter driving since my only other is a 2wd ford f150.

I would go 235 on the tire if you can. I can't speak to the reliability of your specific car but mine has gotten me through 8 winters now with 0 issues. They do really well in the snow because they're heavy. I'd make sure all the coolant hoses and gaskets that hold coolant are not seeping. They tend to come out when it's cold.

What? You guys drive these beauties on salted winter roads? That is what Camrys are for! I was born and spent most of my first 22 years in Wisconsin. (also lived in IA, IL, SD, MO, CO and GA during those years. Bach in the day, in the 1970s. I drove my 1956 and 1957 T-Birds only in the summer and I drove rusted out Falcons, Fairlanes, Valiants and Darts in the winter. I would never drive a car I even half way liked in the winter up there!
