Hi,

I saw one in the 2004 VW Nats, they are not standard/from factory.

Here is a few pics:

The car is owned by Hans Klaack, my favorite air cooled engine builder from Klaack motors. It's got a twin webered stroker in it.

Hans is a mate. He was telling me the top edges of the ute body are made of mandrel bent pipe. The panels were then welded up flush to the pipe. Apparently it's ridiculously strong. It's also gpt a window out of production ute of some other brand, but he was pretty tight lipped about that bit. Be worth giving him a call if you're thinking about building one.

That is a very nicely done conversion! I have seen photos of several of these, but this one is very nice.

Great little conversion, I used to own one myself until a shit head with a match and a wee bit of fuel decided to have some funh.

Great little ride and they really stand out.
