turn your VW Jetta or Golf into a VW Ute in your driveway in a weekend!
Inexpensive, small pickup trucks used to be everywhere in North America. Datsuns, Toyotas, the Subaru Brat or even the 80’s Volkswagen Caddy based on the Golf, have all pretty much all disappeared. But if you're willing to pick up some tools to build your own, or have the Canadian Ute team do a full build or installation for you, you can now bringing the Caddy back with the Smyth Performance Truck Kit for the MKIV VW Jetta and Golf.
Listen to some Jethro Tull as Hestermann Autowerks' one-man-team builds the Smyth Performance Ute kit; turning a 99-2004 Jetta or Golf into a pickup - ruclips.net/user/hesty32videos (to see all the build stages individually)
With no garage or high speed shop equ...

    Do you think removing that amount aluminum from the speakers will damage the structural integrity? I am about to do my smyth kit soon as well. Just wondering how you feel about it 4 years later.

    So what happens to most of the wiring?? Rear door wiring for example...

    • @MrTheHillfolk
      @MrTheHillfolk 2 года назад

      It's not needed ,take a rosstech and recode it so it thinks it's a 2 door car ,that's what I did. You can repurpose some of the other wiring , use the rear window defrost circuit to power up some bed lights or whatever for example.

    • @elfarach
      @elfarach 2 года назад

      So you can just cap them off also and not use them??

    • @MrTheHillfolk
      @MrTheHillfolk 2 года назад

      @@elfarach yeah you can do that, i ended up running the wiring thru the rear door pillars and curve around to underneath the bed. Trying to eliminate a water leak by capillary action down the harness where the kit normally routes the wiring. I just capped off what I didn't use ,there could be reasons you might want the extra ones to wire in future items after it's built that you forgot 😄

    Do they have the kit for the 3 series? I've got one in the driveway that runs like a champ, but leaks and needs struts. Was about to sell it for 500 bucks to some kid. This looks interesting

    The rear of the truck is spot on, how it should be. The Beetle ute conversion tries to use the rear arches and whilst I love Beetles, it looks shocking. If the Beetle conversion used this kit, now I would be interested.

    It's a nice finished object and would give pleasure to know you have built one ,.!. You can buy one straight from the VW group, it comes with a Lada badge on it, but it's a VW family item.

    pretty sharp conversion not convinced it’s a weekend project unless you’ve done many of them with the kit ? since my first cars were Watercooled VW Rabbits i’ve always had a fondness to the overall appearance to their pickup look but have had to go full size American for their hauling and towing capacities ! Although i do keep a eye out for the used VW Deisel Caddy’s pretty regularly

      And as far as weight, it shouldn't be an issue. I used to stuff 1200 pounds of wood pellets in a b5 Passat and it did ok. Stopping was different but handling wasn't too bad.
