It's most likely very similar to the pictures of the pink SMS Gr. A S2 rally
car I have on http://www.quattrosport.com .  Frank's, Rui's, and my car all
started life as a regular old gutless CQ (we want pictures Scott =).
Frank's car has the entire engine, drivetrain, and suspension out of his
previous A2 Gr. B car though (although Frank is apparently running a 4kq
tranny at the moment).  The 6-speed in John Rek's car is a custom unit SMS
made (totally different from the street 6-speed), as opposed to the rally
5-speed boxes which were 016 housings with completely different internals.
I'm sure you'll also find that the strut housings are all one piece (don't
know if they're the lightweight magnesium and titanium housings like on the
pink SMS car) on John Rek's car, and of course on Frank's car.  Rui's car
and mine use the stock CQ spindle assemblies with the separate strut (Ron
Wood made Rui's struts and we made our own).

cya!
