You is talking loco and I like it.

Anything is possible with enough time and $$$.

What would your goal be with the car? The thing will not hook worth anything, but would be a great sleeper...

Well I am going to redo the whole rear frame to do my own rear suspension. I am thinking of building a unequal length independent rear suspension for it and use the from a-arms off the C5 Corvette for the front suspension so I can get rid of the strut front suspension. I am wanting to stick 335/R18's on it so I am going to flare the front fenders and rear quarter panels so I can fit them under. I am also going to redo the whole interior. I intend to add a 6 point cage to it. My intent with the car is to cause havic with the imports that are running around. Like all the Honda Civics and the like.

If you build the car like you want, all of the ricers will quickly learn to avoid you.
