Yes they are Gene,

but thats when big money becomes your friend, if you got any

some conversion shops sell the kit, but you have to renforce alot of of the chassis, and have very strict compliancing rules,

if i knew the price of these kits, id prolly drop dead just hearing the price,

and the i think you prolly need to put it on some sort of club rego or drive it on the weekends, blah etc.

regards

anything is posable. if u have the $$$$. if u dont. keep ya conversion in the RTA guidlines and it will save ya $1000's

my engineer just refused a genIII V8 gemini that showed up for compliance. told him no way no how. and he dosnt want anything to do with it
