I like it, I had thought of something like this but was thinking going full custom front. Doing it to an existing doner is much more simplistic.
For rear toe just remove the rack & pinion use a hollow tube with similar I.D. of the tie rod end, weld a nut… very adjustable toe. If you wanted to get really froggy add an electric actuator coupled with an accelerometer and you could get dynamic toe that in theory could be better than the VR4 and HICAS systems of old.
Stucturally an external roll bar around the cab with the down bars tied into the strut towers of the fwd platform would add a lot of strength and support to the “graf”.

hahahaha insane!
i think it would be easier to drop the subframe and make 4 mounting brackets to the rear frame rails to bolt the subframe to and some upper strut mounting points. less ghetto too lol. youd prolly have to cut a little out of the rails and rebrace but nowhere near as much as chopping them off lol.
