Not impossible if you get a chassis with complete drivetrain and papers.

Craig, no. Just no.
You have a very old, overdue for replacement 4x2 which is, frankly, embarrassing.
You are not keeping it.
You are not converting it to 4x4.
You are going to get yourself a nice KB5 D-Teq 4x4.

I would firstly chat to Reenen and Sakkie and see what they say.
A rebuilt 2.8tdi shouldn’t be more than around 30k
Put in a SFA and transfer case and bobs your uncle.

Why do you want to do that?
Doesn’t your 4x2 go anywhere a 4x4 does
?

Legally, it shouldn't be too much of an issue. The chassis and engine numbers are what counts in terms of registration. The body isn't important.

You might have to re-register the vehicle from licensed to carry 2/ 3 persons to 5

Just be aware, that a Dteq is not cheap if things go wrong. I would rather opt for the Go-Big shape if you want to upgrade.
