Too wide, would have to cut body.

As above, you can make it fit but it requires cutting into the engine bay, modifications to the subframe and firewall (then brakes, suspension, fuel system, etc).

Don't get me wrong it is totally possible, but you need either money or mates with skills, and at the end a friendly engineer to certify the conversion so it can be registered.

[Brayden]
