Sounds great. Just think about it LONG and HARD. There are soooo many variables to consider when it comes to adding suspension, especially if you want to limit cutting/welding. How will your steering column integrate into the new steering setup, will your tie rods have room to move, where will your rack sit, how will the angles end up, etc. Lots and lots of variables. It can definately be done and really, like you say, it shouldn't be that difficult. Mine had a lot of restrictions due to the parameter limits I set, but if you don't mind doing using American parts and doing some cutting, it really won't be too terrible. Keep in mind that the Mustang II suspension was designed for a car much wider than a bug, so roll center needs to be adjusted. Remember the results need to be worth the effort.
