THIS might be a radical and bizzare thought but:::
maybe...


WHY not just BUY a 90-93 model? Justa thought.

So you have a 90-93 correct?

But to answer your question, <U>anything</U> is possible with enough money

Different chassis... overall structure won't allow such "swap" without moderate modification, including cutting, re-welding and re-shaping.
Only worth if you really feel like you should try it!!
