It's definately been done. So if thats the look you are going for and have around 5 grand, then go for it.

It's something you don't see every day. If you have the drive to do it, more power to you!

As for price, if that includes the drivetrain you'd be dumb not to buy it imo. That swap is around the price by itself from what I've found.

Been there, have done that. Don't bother with the body parts. Swap the 5 lug, and if it came with a motor, go for it.
