Try it the other way around.

An elven fighter with no more than two ** in weapon proficiencies and an alignment of lawful good. There are also minimum statistic requirements for paladins (charisma 17 for instance...), so you should really check the class minimums and assign your attributes accordingly.

You may also need to alter the character level (ranger/paladin exp chart instead of fighter).

There is also a possibiliy you may have to assign yourself a clerical spell, I can't recall offhand what level paladins gain spellcasting abilities.

Good luck with it.
