Id say roncallo is right. Looks like jag FJ to me. Almost used one in my Malibu years ago.
Not swapping suspension though. Tge107 works very well with some changes and most swaps would actually interfere more. The subframe is a non issue if you swap the m117 alloy block r107 pan on the m119. The big problem is the steering box. So luckily I've been plotting this out for years and now I've learned enough suspension geometry making this car drift as well as it does, to know what needs to be where to successfully do a rack conversion. Still no easy feat but I know what will make it unusable without ten trial and error stages. I've got a soilid plan that will be adaptable for a w111 too.

Test fit carcasses are all over your shop too. You just need to pick a front end setup.
I wonder what this guy is using in post 81 here:
