Thanks Mate. Drive shafts isn't a real problem for me as my project will be RWD (I must be mad ). but I do plan to utilise the existing front suspension. I may have to use the hub end of the shafts to secure the hubs to the knuckles, as i think they are only pressed in? My RWD Transit pretty much uses FWD hubs with dummy shafts in, so that's what I'm hoping to do.
Just bought the hubs from ST-breakers actually, and have some Fiat coupe calipers which I think are the same as the Alfa ones. My plan is to buys some new RS struts or coilovers to sort it.

To start with, I'll be doing the work with the standard ST suspension to ee how it goes, but am getting the bits together now, as I don't see the prices going down at all If it doesn't work out as planned, I can always sell them on later.....

You probably think i'm a nutter
