Yep , it's possible and has been done once or twice. Lots of coach trimmers could do it. It is relatively simple due to the strong chassis. Go and look at a 402 to see where to chop etc

Best if you look on the chassis list on the BOC and contact someone that has done it for advise.

Even with an imposter engine an imposter 402 would sell for good money.

I remember when I saw a 405 in about the same condition as yours. There was a spares or repair SAAB 900 convertible for sale with a good electric hood for £300 near my house -- that set my mind wondering !.

Maybe someone on the BEEF site has done it.
