You could always do an AU2 to AU1 front end suspension conversion - the reverse of what most do (AU1 to AU2 to get bigger/better brakes)

all au's apart from i think some of the T series have the same steering rack.
Front struts are a straight swap except if you put series I struts into a series II/III there will be a small bracket that needs to be welded onto the shock to locate the brake cable from the series II/III courtesy of better (bigger) brakes than the series I had. Sway bar mounts completey differently at all mounting points.
