   found a cheap 3 stud rear axle for sale near me, will it fit my 4 stud 1.1? and then use 3 to 4 stud wheel adapters?

   It will fit, but once you factor in the cost of spacers & new wheels it will better to just buy the correct one!

   youre going backwards mate lol people go through the trouble of converting to 4 stud not the other way round lol
   
   spacers are usually about £150 a pair

   Use the 3 stud axle and put the 4 stud stuff on it. Just use the 3 stud axle and none of the trailing arm stuff.
