Mate, am not that far from you if you want to catch up sometime & have a look at the KJ. There's no difference between the models of AWD in the rear, AFAIK.

Yes there is. To start, the AWDs have a much thicker upper suspension arm. The one the is close to the inner shoulder of the tyres. I'm sure there are other differences to cater for the rear diff and drive shaft.

I think what alscall is saying is all the AWD magna/verada's share the same rear end.

No kidding - I went looking through my photos I had and found this one from a few years ago before my car even had mag wheels!

It shows a bit - but prolly not what you are wanting to see?

Taken from the Left Hand Rear side.

That side of thigs has been fixed. It's in a Geelong workshop as we speak & hopefully won't be too much longer now. Sometime next week, I'm hoping.

Not a chance.

Plenty of threads around here explaining how it would take megabucks to convert a FWD 3rd gen to AWD, let alone a 380.

Even Blackstar hasn't got that much money to waste.

I wait to be proven wrong!

Blackstar, not sure if I cam help - but I have a KL AWD and a mechanics pit at my old man's place.

Let me know if you need any photos etc. That I can help with

Can't wait to see this project come together, whatever it is.

I might have to eat my earlier words about an AWD 380!

You're a real pioneer Blackstar, what with the 380 LSD and now this project.
