I got the new revell t2 bus a couple of days ago and compared it to the hasagawa t1 pick up. Everything pretty much lined up so I chopped the front off both and this is the result. I'm thinking to do this in a more modern style than most vws so will be using a set of 968 porsche wheels, big brakes and either a suburu or porsche engine. I still need to swap over the engine lid from the t2 but it should be a fairly simple job as everything lines up well and the body lines on both are nice and sharp so hopefully there will be very little filler. The lower front wheel arches were the only part that didn't line up but the orange plastic has a little give in it so a few clamps and a couple of tabs on the back soon fixed that. I'll be using a vw t3 chassis under this. The chassis in the pic is from the hasegawa but is only there for the pics
