How cool does this look
It's a photoshop some guy did in the US and he is thinking of actually putting one together.

Seen one done before, very neat, very cool when lowered, would hate the welding though. Wonder if any beetle hearses were born from ideas like these? |

There was a kit of this type in the US called the Shogun I think. There's a guy on the Central Coast that has apparently done a Beetle ute, but with
Type 3 rear guards. I haven't seen it yet, but apparently it has been put together well.

This was a kit in the uk from "wizard" the people that bought the wizard roadster and beetle ute conversions. there are plenty of them floating
around over there some done very well others not quite as good... your could also get it in a baja format so you could have the cut down baja front
end and big rims/tyres on the back, the rear arch's were flared and cut away. sure i have pictures some where see if i can find some...

that front end was made to go with the rear but a quite a few people got the front end and put it onto a stock bug, a few used it with the actual
wizard roadster..... like anything people would change use some parts to make it there own... till trying to find the baja one as that was
mental..... same sorta shape just all cut away etc etc....

Beutler did one in the '50's.
you Porsche fans should recognise that name.
