nice ride.......if only rego wasn't such a drama up this way, i'd be right onto one for my own

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...

tmerivale - January 13th, 2010 at 08:59 PM

this thing is GORGEOUS!!!!!

i love it.

Goitsy - January 14th, 2010 at 05:56 AM

Bugged - January 14th, 2010 at 09:42 PM

This thing is unreal. I want to build one!

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).

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.

helbus - January 19th, 2010 at 07:10 PM

Wheelbase change would make it an ICV.

Bugged - May 22nd, 2011 at 08:57 PM

I am really keen to learn more!

scoobywgn - May 30th, 2011 at 10:55 PM

Hey............

This is actually my mums car... we never new pics of it made it to a mag.
The car was originally bought buy my mum as a Baja Ute with a horrid looking tray lol

Car Still looks like the image from the rod shop just more rusty >.< have not had the time and money to keep going with it but its good to see people like it.

waltermitty - May 30th, 2011 at 11:52 PM

Are they Bed pans? M

scoobywgn - May 31st, 2011 at 07:56 AM

Umm well yes, yes they are... lol
(Mum collects weird stuff)
Also a Ducati 750 monster airbrushed with flowers..

scoobywgn - June 1st, 2011 at 06:00 PM

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.

scoobywgn - June 1st, 2011 at 06:10 PM

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 - June 1st, 2011 at 06:15 PM

Mmmmm Choppy Choppy

Used the 2 rear glass frames from the beetle that donated the roof to make the rear window

scoobywgn - June 1st, 2011 at 06:25 PM

Picked up a 1.8lrt Subaru leone motor and a adapter plate for the gearbox.

scoobywgn - June 1st, 2011 at 06:29 PM

And that's it, hope you enjoyed =)
