love it... there is a beetle ute that lives near my work. its not a rod.. .but would make an excellent starting point for something like this. I have thought a few times of trying to get my hands on it...

Love the Hot Rod style door/winscreen mods. Would be interesting to see what they are going to register it as. Hot Rod? VW? ICV Probably, but will need the guards on all 4 wheels, which will detract from the pretty awesome pose it is making at the moment.

This is being pieced together in Victoria somewhere (pretty sure its by a hot rodder but not sure who - I just found the pic online).dbryar wrote:Love the Hot Rod style door/winscreen mods.

As far as rego it's not eligible for street rod rego as that only applies to pre '49 cars (or replicas of, like a fibreglass rod with a repro chassis), so either a modified VW or ICV would be my guess.

Wheelbase change would make it an ICV.

Pics of the build as requested.
the NSW rego ran and needed alot to get into Vic Rego, so we decided to make it a cooler ute, and i got to stripping it down.

Picked up a proper bonnet for 20 bucks to replace the baja fiberglass one, extender beams when in and the white walls came and fitted, with the bigger wheel band for the rear.
scoobywgn ·
Mmmmm Choppy Choppy
Used the 2 rear glass frames from the beetle that donated the roof to make the rear window

MANTA ·
Did U ever get this painted and ANY MORE PHOTO's of end the result ????
baghall ·
Very cool ride! Very nice work on it as well. Particularly like the metod of making up the rear window and the shaping of the roof at the rear. Baja ute tray was better looking than what my baja ute has atm. Definitely like to see this competed.👍👍
scoobywgn ·
So... im back, the VW ute has been pulled out the fabracation will begin again on it after all this time!
Headlights, Taillights, indacators and mirror's and a proper steering wheel has been bought, the Suby motor and adaptor plate are up for sale on ebay and currently trying to source a complete type 3 1600 flat motor to bolt in!
more updates to come!
Cheers Ash
