that would need some serious jig work to straighten the chassis, which is complicated by the 4wd system (which would need realigning)

the propshaft would inevitibly have problems after a big shunt like that... you could re-shell it, but how many good r32 shells are there lying about?!

didn't think cat b could be repaired anyway?

Would make for a monster conversion though!

Not really that harder conversion to do, just a bit tight to get in, and then you would need some looms making up and get the 4wd running gear onto it, could use a old synchro shell for that.
