And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
It's theoretically possible to bolt a microbus onto a 4x4 frame (I regularly saw a Jaguar XJ6 on a F150 chassis in Ottawa South on my commute) the engine would protrude through the front of the VW and crowd the footwells in the front. Unless the engine was in the middle below a raised floor with a short rear and long front driveshaft and the radiator set in the tailgate with an electric fan. Al_in_Ottawa
While it is theoretically possible this one would have to be driven with hand controls. Those tires and wheel wells leave no space for pedals inside the cab
The proportions behind the sliding door are off. Also the sliding door would not be able to open with the louvers on the rear window and those fender guards. When the sliding door on a VW bus is open it covers the top part of the rear wheel.
Don't see a conversion on a beetlebug bus like that much, looks pretty cool.

My old Vee Dub bus could climb like a mountain goat. Why would you do a conversion?
