[T3] Swing axles to "IRS"

[Simon Glen <simonglen@bigpond.com>]

A friend here has a 1963 notchback.  He is about to fit the front axle
beam and disc brakes (and 4-stud wheels) from a 1970 fastback which has
no engine and has a rusty body and floorpan.  Afte he has done this, he
then faces the problem of what to do about the mis-matching rear 5-stud
open-centred wheel rims.  Rather than mess around with changing rear
brake drums, stub-axles, bearings, etc how easy or how hard would it be
for him to make use of the entire 1970 gearbox, torsion bar tubes,
diagonal trailing links, CV-jointed half-shafts, brakes, wheels, etc.??
