Spotted this interesting TAFT project on gumtree Australia in December 2020 - asking just $4,500, some serious work has gone into fitting a Buick / commodore V6 into the cars engine bay. Supposedly there is no structural rust in this car, according to the ad. It is the first of the F20s - but had not yet had the facelift (so looked very similar to the F10s). The seller at the time otherwise noted:o  The car sits on 15x6 globe mags with 31x10.5 muddys with about 60% tread left, currently has four wheel drum brakes with diff ratios of 4.11, comes with front disc brake conversion, with front and rear diff ratios of 3.9. Is about 90% complete have all glass except windscreen (easy flat piece). Has flares aswell. Comes with spare doors and a spare 4 speed gearbox, too many other parts to list. Runs well.
