    Honestly man, the mirrors have to go. I tow my race car on a much bigger trailer and the stock mirrors are more than sufficient.

    As for the motor swap, here's a guy that did a VW diesel swap in his '91. https://youtu.be/avhHeDJaaB0

    I sure can and stock mirrors don't see around some of the wider buildings I haul so honestly they ain't coming off cause I don't want opinions on mirrors I didn't put them on to please ANYONE but myself but thx tho
