well i cant say much about that converted mitsu as i only saw it twice and rode in it once, but from what i recall
engine was fitted (didnt look like too much trouble)
the fuel tank was cut out and moved to back of back seat
parts of the undercarrage were cut to fit the rear diff and axles
the rear suspension and hubs were welded in (the welds looked quite ordinary to me)
and then there were the miscellaneous things like upgraded fuel system modified gear shift mechanisms, fitting tailshaft etc
all out it went to 2 workshops in the process (each shop doing different parts of conversion) and both workshops managed to break, steal or lose certain parts of the car, mostly interior bits but importantly his facotry ECU
so thats about $20,000 worth of conversion, the bloke still had to spend money on tuning the car (had to go aftermarket ECU) and also needed a new clutch (just one of those things that needed doing)
i only give this info cause its the only 4WD conversion ive seen in the flesh, some of these things might not be relevant but it may help.
Even tho most of this info seems negative, i have to say the car was an absolute beast. A little while after i got a ride in it i heard from a friend that it was impounded cause he was taking it street racing it.
