The steering rod hits the back of the upper control arm. Clutch and master cyl. hitting the wheel and the wheels hitting the firewall.
You can make the frame from 2x3 box and drag the rocker.

Check out my profile I used to have an 84 nissan 720, but I got rid of it, I was building a 2x3frame, another thing you proable have to worry is the strut rods that run from the lower arm to the radiator support, just flip and run them backwards.

Yea the steering rod u joint rubs the upper control arm and you may have to shorten it at the spline section below the u joint. I also had to cut and move up the section of the firewall where the steering shaft comes throuhg. You will have to tub the fire wall for any wheel 17 inches and up. I am running 17s and had to. Replace the clutch master cylynder with one from a 92 toyota carola, the fluid line will come out the top and the bolt layout is different so everything is away from the tire. other than replacing the factory carrier berring x member, a 2 1/2 inch standard body drop will lay the rocker (pinch bent under) 3 inch if you want it to lay hard.

We are in the middle of finishing one with a 4.5" body drop, just did a tech article with sectioning the core support.

use a booster from a 1990 ford festiva, but you must shorten the connecting tube and push rodfrom the factory to make it closer, and adam was right about the corrola clutch master, I used the same thing and it worked like a charm, you just need to make a new push rod, the steering linkage, i just cut it out of the firewall mounting plate and moved it all up and rewelded it to the plate, as well i channeled the bracing under the dash supports and moved the steering tube up, so the steering wheel didn't sit so low.

with a 4.5" it won't fit naturally, but we just may section that also. There is a place here in Austin that will do that.
We havn't done the master or clutch cylinder yet, (we just picked up the truck last thursday) I dont' think we will be able to use the corrola clutch cause the wheels go and hit right under the hood hindges allready.
