just checking to see if anybody knows of or has done this to a 120y my mate has just got one for free but it has no front suspension what so ever and he has a wrecked 200b to scavenge off
any info would be good but from knowledge i think that it is bolt in but please correct me if im wrong so it only takes hours not months
cheers kurt

you will need

stanza or sunny control arms, balljoints, steering arms, tie rods and outer tierod ends
sunny radious rods
and then weld a smaller spring hanger on the 200b struts

or you could try using 200b control arms and it will have absolutly huge front track
dont know what radious rods
200b steering arms and ball joints
180b tierod ends and tierods
still have to change the spring hanger

or find a 180b
use the crossmember, control arms, steering arms, tierods and ends
maybe 120y radious rods
still have to change spring hanger
and then of coarse run an L series engine

nah the car is only a bit of fun to have a hack around in. so if you could se his lazer you wouldnt be worried about wide front track lol. he took to the guards with an angle grinder and choped about a good 30cm out of them in order to get more camber so it would point in and id say that he would prefer this car to point and then get a $#!t load of oversteer.
the next trouble is that if we were to get stanza struts its hard to get them in cenral west nsw so i think we will find a 180b aswell
pigdog what is involved in fitting the hilux calipers and verada disks to stanza struts
cheers and thanks for the info kurt.
