I know there were pixs of a car that someone was building up with Holden front suspension, is this common in Aust? Any help you guys can pass along would be great.

The common Holden suspension used in Australia is the LH, LX & UC Torana front. The DRB kit uses this car as it's main donor.

I reckon it would be a lot of work to cut and shut a Kingswood wagon chassis. You would have to shorten and narrow the whole thing. A recipie for a big headache in my opinion.

If you are stuck with using a donor chassis to retain rego etc you might want to look at a Toyota Crown chassis. G Force in Perth used to do a kit that's designed to go on the Crown chassis. You might be able to find an old Crown in Indonesia at the right price.

Have a look at the G Force web page and give them a call.
