It would be quite a project. Once the front end is stripped off the unibody, there isnt much left! You'll need to totally cage the car, all the way up to the front frame horns. Something has to put the rigidity back in, only a cage will do that. On my car we retained the stock frame and floor, as per rules, but normally I think to do this you would re-frame the whole car.
