I did a little editing of your attachments.

Works better if After you upload the attachments you click on the paper clip icon, then insert the images where you want them or insert all.

I think this ensures against disappearing pictures.

Neat idea. It's going to need some sort of frame structure fabbed in to strengthen up the body. Just the unibody structure probably won't support that much of a wheelbase increase.

Years ago I worked at an automotive repair/body shop. The boss had acquired an old VW Rabbit that he wanted the body guys to convert into a limo. I watched them cut the car in half, then weld a bunch of supports to the underside of the floor. I think the stretch section was about 5 feet.
Sadly I left that job before the stretch Rabbit got finished.

Here's an idea.

Now let's let the OP , get his creativity in gear and rocking!! My kid loved Oldblue, picking up him and his date after the prom! And my niece used it in her wedding! Mine you she was second guessing saying yes to her hoop dress! I had her sit in the backseat, on the passenger side with the front seat all the way forward! The groom sat behind my seat , I did scrunch up a few clicks to give them so room!
So it's either proms and weddings, or a tour/ party limo!
