Nice. Looks like a good base. Get onto the rust and cruise it around

Nice buy, Australian assembled, easy conversion to a hydraulic clutch, so here's what I'd do.
L18, 32/36 DGV, Stanza 5 speed, 1200 ute H165 diff housing with the 4.1 diff, Stanza struts with Stanza brakes, keep the vinyl roof & keep it as stock looking as possible. Great sleeper. The pedal box already has the hole & studs for a clutch master cylinder, you just have to drill the hole in the firewall & the clutch pedal. With the Sunny's you can bolt a Stanza crossmember in, but I'm not sure if this can work with the 120Y. Harry Kane (L18_B110 on 1200.com) used the original crossmember with the uprights from an L series Bluebird welded on when he did his turbo L20B 120Y. There are photos of the work he did in the Project Builds section of that forum. When he did his 1200 coupe he used a 180B crossmember. The best thing about 120Y's is their wheel wells, 7 inch wide rims fit easily under them, not like the 1200 or the Sunny. Above all, have fun in it.

B210 can use180b X member but it adds bump steer.
