could anyone shed some insight how the engine/ axle connection would be made?

(post #367) I have seen a similar powered skip on this website:

(see: other vehicles - motorlore)

but no good pictures of the powertrain.

thanks

Looking at the first picture, the VW gearbox can be seen - so I'm assuming that drive is taken down to one of the axles - Early vans had a "Reduction Hub" between the gearbox and the wheel so I guess it's possible to adapt those to suit the situation.
