Corona Conversion Crap

Alright, i've got an XT130 and i am able to buy my friends corona for REALLY cheap. This is the deal. I want to do the Corona strut/hiLux caliper/pug disk brake conversion on one of my TA22's, and i was wondering if the struts in his corona will be suitable for this conversion, if so i'll buy it purely for the struts. (if anyone wants Corona parts start emailing away!) Now i know that the struts needed for this conversion are the xt130 struts, however his corona is not an xt130. Infact i have no idea what model it is. My xt130 is an '81 model, and his is an '82 model, however his car looks somewhat different from mine. Actually if you look at it carefully, it actually SEEMS to be almost exact in exterior dimensions, the only APPARENT differences are the tail-lights, headlights, and slight changes to the bonnet and front guards. Apart from this it all seems to be the exact same as my xt130. It is not the latter model 'boxy' Corona you see so much of, infact it looks almost identical to the xt130 from side on (apart from slightly differing front guards.)
Now all i want to know is will his Corona have the szame struts as the xt130 for my conversion or will they be different? The only other information i can really give is that mine is the starfire powered beast and his has a 22re or something jap like that. Hopefully someone with a bit of brains will be able to help me on this issue, thanks
