So if you made a flat boring door panel then it's definitely doable with probably the only modification being the latch.
what i love most in the SVX is the flowing interior of the dash/door... it's a shame to ruin it. I told you i can help you out, maybe design a modified fiber fender for your application? , you definitely need to change it, or think of letting the door open an inch further to the outside... maybe?
