Modified axles run into about 300.(If you can find someone to do them for you) I'd say $80-100 for HR30/910/etc outer companion flanges.
I don't know what you'd expect to pay for r30/s12/910 outer CV's. They may even be available new. (at a cost)
Then you'd need to find a longnose R200. (Others might have an idea what market value for those is)
And a shortnose LSD and inputs. (Either VLSD, or CLSD) VLSD's can be picked up pretty cheap.
It would have to run into around the $600 mark all told?

It also requires mods to the cross member to fit the R200 in place.
The Answer to your Question is NEEDS MORE VG30

Agree

As the boys said,

Modified axles
HR30/910/etc outer companion flanges.
r30/s12/910 outer CV's
Longnose R200
Shortnose LSD and inputs.
Moustache bar and mods to crossmember
Plus possible driveshaft mod depending on flange dimensions of R200

Fly up and have a look at it.

I have some replica outer companion flanges.
I say replica, as they were the standard UJ ones. The square end was machined off, then a locating spigot was turned on. Then copies of the R30/etc flange were machined up, and they were welded together. How strong are they? Tbh, I don't know. They look pretty strong though.

only the inner CV's are of any use.
Are they 3x2, or 5x1.
