driveshaft and engine crossmember's for TA23

due to crappy circumstances i find myself with a 2T/T50 20 spline (soon to be 2TGEU) and an R series crossmember and driveshaft. since these cars are fairly rare over here (new zealand) i can't find replacements but apparently a few other things fit.
what i've heard is TT132 corona and TA4* Celica for the crossmember. these are also proving hard to find and i've found someone with a couple of TA6* celica bits, will this crossmember and driveshaft do the trick????
if not can anybody give me a definite list of what will fit?
i've got a maybe on a TA22 driveshaft but i've heard there's a few different versions of this and i need the right one? can anybody tell me which is the right one?
cheers

i think i've got a crossmember, i just got a pm before on a nz site from someone who thinks they know where a tt132 is being wrecked. i might need a driveshaft but i've got a couple of possibilities to check first.

Chassis rails are wider on a xT6x series Celica than a TA23 so its unlikely that the crossmember from one of those will fit. If you find one in NZ you can try the TA45 Carina and the mechanicals of this model and the Celica are practically identical.

ps: can i use my W50 gearbox crossmember or do i need a proper T50 one?
shouldn't be hard to find a T50 one anyway but if i don't need it it'll save me a few dollars

All my TT132 Coronas have 3T and W50. So If your keen to keep your W50 (which is a good idea) you need to take the bellhousing from that Corona too.

i've got one!!! well i've got a TT132 one. i haven't checked it yet (there's a dirty great big ford v6 in the way) but it looks exactly the same as the one i used to have and i'm pretty confident.
cheers for the advice, wish i could remember exactly where it came from
and the gearbox in the TT132 wasn't a T50 or a W50, didn't know what it was. looked pretty different, anybody got any ideas if they came out with something else???
didn't take the bellhousing cause i didn't think it would fit my W50 and didn't want to waste the money.
cheers
