it could be done, but unless you want either A) low track width, or B) low kingpin angle, it's gonna look fckucked.

Why?? is my first question. you could if you own a welder and a hammer.

Personally i'd prefer the a70 front end to any macpherson strut setup

extra steering lock and caster adjustment

your doing it for drift im guessing. any way seen your car at tafe on monday

[spence]

yeah been there all week. how come you were there?

[RA65 Sleeka]

work.. I heard you come down the street with the 31 in chase. i like the rims. what sort of money did you pay for them if you dont mind me asking.

You could maybe try adapting an MX83 front end (including crossmember) but getting the geometry correct will be a mission. Way more effort than it's worth IMO, just get another car with mac struts in it already!

mx83's are so cheap especially with BHG's, they have mac front and G series IRS rear, move all the bits from the ma70 to that

this will be cheaper than the time and money spent re-engineering the ma70

[Norbie]

Very good point. The Cressida may be slightly heavier but it's a far easier/cheaper way to acheive the stated goal.
