Can it be done? Yes. Do you really want to do it? Probably not.
It is one Hell of a lot of work, you need to buy a lot of expensive parts (new master cylinder, clutch hydraulics and lines, the proper gear box, shifter, shifter cables, clutch, pressure plate, flywheel, interior stuff like the console trim and new clutch and brake pedals, etc., etc.); the car's DME will be looking for the Tip computer and not finding it, you will need to drop the engine and just about disassemble the car, etc.
And when you are all done, you will have a car with a diminished resale value, so you will never recover your outlay. You need to step back and ask yourself if the view is really worth the climb.............
