Be far FAR cheaper just to import one ready to go than spend money fixing all those body dents and finding the missing parts. Drivetrain swap is the easy part. Gutted interior, body damage, and all the rest?

The bad thing is that to get them retitled after being imported, you have to have them stripped down to that point and then then rebuild them with US equivalent parts to get them to be road legal. There is a business in Colorado (I think) that specializes in doing this.

I was just going to say the same thing, haven't heard anything from the Colorado shop recently

I've seen the red one and talked to that guy at the Golden CO cruise. That one was rebuilt with a Pontiac G8 that was cornholed hard. He does a nice job, left hand conversion and all, there was nothing about it that didn't look factory.

Here's one a guy has been trying to sell for awhile now. It seems to be another basket case.
