Using a Smyth Performance kit, I converted a 4 door VW turbo-diesel Jetta into a VW UTE as they call them in Australia or Volks-amino as I call it.
The tailgate is from a 2001 Ford Ranger. The tail lights from a 2002 Ford Explorer.
Starting with this pristine 2006 Jetta without a scratch on it. Get out the Saws-all and…
What have you done to my car?
Rear quarters are fiberglass as is the rear window surround. The bed and core structure are heavy gauge aluminum.
Very functional bed.
The finished product – a 45 MPG turbo diesel pickup with a 600 mile range.
