your in luck, my cousin is selling a COMPLETE 100% everything there conversion.
The conversion kit was funded by an independant contractor for the king of Nigeria, however they have had to cancel it.
Its allready been paid for in full, cost $1.2 million.
The contractor has allready built the kit and has it sitting waiting for a car.
He doesnt want to throw it away after all that work, and he has a healthy $1.1m profit sitting in a bank account he now cant access because the project was cancelled.
My cousin can get to that money and transfer it to an overseas independant, then get it transferred back and donate it to unicef and oxfam to help the people in his country.
All you need to do is give him your bank details, address, phone numbers, drivers licence number, birth certificate, AusZcar user name and password and IQ results.
Once this is done, he will contact you, transfer the money, then transfer it back, leaving you with $100,000 for your troubles, then he'll send you the conversion kit free of charge as thanks for your generosity.

reply here if your keen to go ahead with this.

Torana hippie, ypur're a new lad around hete, dont worry about all this silliness, i can assist you!
Few years back, we grafted a LJ XU1 GTR original body onto a Subaru Brumby ute chassis, only because the Brumby chassis had a turbo EJ20 engine from a WRX STI 22B rally car fitted to it.
It was sort of wrong, because the rules for Group G rally cars only allowed us to use the car in rallysprints, motorkhanas and hill climbs.
We did make sure we started with an already current registered car(Torana) as to get the new conversion engineered for rego, we though may have been a touch hard!

Anyway, yes, it will work, we know!
If you are going the other eay, ie a Subaru body onto a Torana chassis, you need to get the one particular model LX Torane, the GT-X this was a one off experimental car GM made, hence the X, it had a full chassis, that was supposed to take their then fantastic new flat six engine, desiigned for very low centre of gravity, the body had a very low wedge shaped nose, a bit like Billy the Steam Shovel, from the Mr Squiggle TV show. It looked very futuristic.
Go for it, ypu wont regret it.
We all will!!!
I just race old datsuns:
Group S Historic 280Z ( not a zx but a USA 280z)
Group O/T Historic Datsun Sports 2000
Group G Datsun 120y  with FJ24 fitted( ex G. Fury)
Marque Sports Datsun Fairlady 1966 -SR20DET
