Why bother going through the hassle of making it fit? It's ratchet strapped to it's own wheels. Stick an AMG badge on the side and drive it as it is.💨
 
Put it in a Merc estate and have a bigger version of this....

There's quite a market in such things if you know where to look.

True story:

Back at the start of 2015 we had a couple of friends round for dinner and, while chatting over the meal, Al looked at me and said, "Do you know what a CF-6 is?". "Yes", said I, "it's a jet engine."

"I've just bought one!", said Al. His wife nearly choked on her food...

He was starting a business turning old aviation components into bespoke furniture & art and he managed to create and sell quite a few things before he was sadly diagnosed with MS which has since put paid to his business venture. His website is long gone, but the company page is still on Facebook here:

If you scroll down the page a bit there's a photo I took of Al sat astride a Tornado drop tank. He towed that down the M1 on a trailer behind his CLK and commented that there were several near crashes as a result of other drivers gawping at it as he made his way back to to Oxfordshire 🤣
