to my knowledge this hasnt been done in aus.

There was a 90series (swb) from SthAfrica that competed in OBC afew years ago that had an 80series front diff and coilovers.

I think buds customs do a kit (or atleast SA convert) IFS Hiluxes with the same rack & pinion IFS front end.

trick would be to use a 79 series front end with 80 series swivel hubs
mount up the 79 series steering box and make a custom steer shaft
80 series 1980 hilux cab supra twin turbo engine
1hdfte 80 series
