You could still make it fully enclosed, like one that I've spotted last year in Florianópolis. But I'm sure you would rather fit a Lada powertrain into it instead of Volkswagen
workaround ideas to discuss among friends: Street-legal sandrail buggy in Brazil

I am looking at traditional ladas, anyhow.

I could fit a 1200L with magneto ignition, I could hand-crank it to start even if the battery's dead, due to the mechanic fuel pump
Not sure if a magneto is required at all. IIRC the old Ladas already had some provision for hand-crank to use when the battery got frozen.
