I'm sure it can be done, but I wouldn't want to wrestle with the thing.

Besides, with the Datsun SPL311 Roadster I can go from junkyard to race
ready for $3000, and that includes having a reasonably straight body and
fresh paint. And there ain't nothin like a tiny roadster on a road
coarse. I love the sound of it's dual side-draft SU's gulping air, it's
a thing of joy.
