What am I looking at? Is that all custom or based off a foreign market ute (Mexico maybe)?

Looks like a Smyth kit. I really want to do that with my Charger.

Someone put some work into that.
Ah NB 405, either a breeze or hell, depending on the time of day. Took me 90 minutes to get from Bellevue to Kent yesterday, love it.

Looks kinda like a modified VW Saveiro, with aftermarket tail lights and a roll pan.
Living in San Diego, we get a lot of Renaul ts , Peugeots and Latin American only VWs from people shopping from Mexico.
I’ve seen quite a few of those VW car truck things, though this thing may not quite be that.

I’d like to take credit for this, but you know my craftsmanship wouldn’t even be a quarter as good as this. :D

Yeah, you can buy a kit from Smyth for like 3k. A few weekends and a thousand bucks for a Mk4 whatever and you’ve got yourself a ute. I might do one eventually.

There is somebody around here with one as well I caught on my dashcam a year or two ago!

I think this is the only Jetta I’ve ever liked.

That’s a Smyth conversion

A smyth charger, with a manual trans, and a 13+ challenger interior is my dream truck.

Looks like it has Beetle classic wheels too.

I want to build either a Jetta-mino or a S cion XB-amino in the next few years.

I’ve been planning one for a while. My Charger is a 2008 police car with only 80k miles, has lots of rough bits on it though. So I figured it’s a perfect candidate. I would add the SRT front end and maybe a sunroof. Upgrade the rear window to sliding spec. I would want a manual but would probably only swap if the auto starts to fail.

A shame, the C-pillar mk4 is a good looking piece of auto design. There are so many other cars that would be more improved by hacking up.

I have nightmares about 405.. “30 years of growth so lets add a single extra HOV lane and take away our hill climb lanes!” - WSDOT

I’ve been overwhelmed with all the utes down here in the Yucatan so I wouldn’t be surprised if some make their way up there. Who needs a kit when you can just buy and drive one from it’s home country (idk which VWs are still hecho en Mexico)
