I think you would end up with a niether fish nor fowl item, i.e. not a factory "AC" but more than a "kit". Unless it is dirt cheap I don't think there would be enough extra value to justify the amount of work required.

I have a nice MK IV available you could import and actually have something that will not cause nasty comments behind your back!

I agree with Trevor save for the chassis, you could mount a DAX or other body on the chassis and possibly have a decent kit car. The bodywork and fits on the MK V I saw would have gotten the fiberglass guys at Factory Five flogged for the effort. Even the "winos" at Brownlowe Sheet Metal never shipped such tat.
