The brakes and muffler are simple, everyday, removal and replacement. The subframe, not so much. The subframe basically holds the engine, transmission, and front wheels in place. If the vehicle is rusted to the point where the subframe needs to be replaced it's unsafe and not worth fixing. You'll be better off using the money towards a newer vehicle that doesn't need major repairs. Rust is commonly referred to as "cancer". Over time it continues to spread compromising the vehicle more and more. Jim
