The answer is maybe. It depends on who does the work and what your definition of the word "professionally" is. My gut feeling is that by the time you buy the parts, fix whatever is wrong with the Volvo (both planned and unplanned), pay for all the little things you haven't figured for and pay someone who has the knowledge and experience to do this properly, drive it, then pull it apart and redo the things you should have done properly the first time, you'll be very lucky to do it for $20K. Certainly there will be people that dissagree with me.

Having said that, since you don't have a Volvo now and would have to buy one to convert, and since you don't have an itch to build it yourself, I suggest you buy one already built. You are the perfect candidate. It'll be A LOT cheaper than building your own and if you want to make changes, you have a platform from which to start.

There are a couple of folks here selling their cars (at a loss, I'm sure). I'm betting you can get them cheap enough that you'd still have $10K to play with.

Regards,

Peter
