it is possible to do it. But thats if yr not planning any big performance mods. That will be extra pressure on a weakened chassis

If you've got a a nice pile of money just collecting dust in the corner anything is possible, but yeah like Mil said it'd be ok if you were willing to sacrifice handling. Personally i'd love to do it!! :lol:

Or if they just won PowerBall/Tattslotto ehheehe but yeah there be lots of work on reinforcement on the A pillar/windscreen, redesign the boot for the folding roof, and extra wielding point through out the whole chassis.
