Here is a pic of my 71 single cab. It looks ugly at the moment but will start lookin better soon. I lowered it using a kruzin wagon front beam and i turned it two outer splines at the back, its low but i would love it lower....still workin on that😀
All the primer patches is where ive been buisy knocking out dents which where just filled with huge amounts of body filler by one of its previous owners. im leaving it without the drop gates because the set that came with it are so rusty..i like the flat back look any way...soon ill be replacing the tray with checker plate as it is rusted beyond repair. the rest of the car is rust free except for under the windscreen but im fixing that at the moment. Having no garage the rain has slowed me down but i hope to have it road worthy in about a month. It will look like a bit of a rat tho...dont think it will be much good for pickin up chicks:P
never fear dude wait til it's finished and u'll be pilin 'em on the back to get 'em home 😉
mine looks crap at the moment to but what can u do about it, it takes time. definately like it though, the checkerplate tray will look good :thumb
p.s, you need big empi's on it😀
yeah i was thinking about geting two huge empi logos made to stick on the doors..im not sure about the wheels ive got about $1000 to spend on them.. any one got any ideas?
yeah keep saving and get them once the paint and tray are done, then look around at you options. personally, i'd go 17's in chrome on the ute, but it is your call. i'm a sucker for big chromies on a nice vw tho...😀
yeah i was thinking about 17s there are some cheap silver ones ive seen advertised it hot4s they look good but ya jus cant beat big chrome wheels.
yeah but i think empi's will complete any vw. but remember it is personal preference
what ever wheels i get ill have to check they fit ok before i buy them. to get the stock wheels under the rear i have to let the tyres down dead flat😠
good to hear, is dumped is good
nice looking ute thats rufly the ride height i want lower but not too low, some what semi low.lol
Good to see another VW ute will be back on the road:thumb Should be a cool ride when it's finished😎 Keep the updates coming:bounce:bounce
new pic of the tray coming off. Had to grind through alot of spotwelds just to get this far, still bout a million more to do....next step...buy the checker plate😀
sweet ride, not only do we share age, but taste in veedubs too. ive got the bay camer, but i love the cabs too.

how did you lower it with the wheels on??
i think i need to do the same. it takes me 15mins per back wheels to get on. let em down flat then wedge them under. buy the way....thats a sweet looking pannel van.
Lookin' good man, but what i reckon would be sweet is if you ketp the name on the side and made the tray with some french polished wooden boards, especially with no drop gates. Love the height too... 🙂 I take it you like my sig line Aaron.... 😎
