- Опубликовано: 13 янв 2016
- Time lapse build of one of the first Smyth Performance mini truck kits for the 99.5-04 VW golf/Jetta 4 door sedan. Thanks to Hestermann Motorwerks for the great work. The newer mini truck kit contains all the CNC-cut filler panels and a new rear window surround without the quarter windows. These early vw ute kits launched what is now the biggest car-to-truck operation in the world.

Instead of doing pop rivets , can i do it old school with real aircraft rivets, where possible?
Some of the guys around the airport where my shop is wanted me to ask.
How much?
i want this business to start in philippines...but how?

Saveiro copia camioneta pick up
oh man first time see the little pickup, I can imagine how economic work would be done with this little pickup here in Los Angeles , good job guys, this guy has engineering talent.
It would not be capable of doing work at all, Jettas aren't that powerful
I've seen this after the Beetle Ute and I think that this one is killing it! The tail lights are really SELLING it as a real truck and the more useable and simpler bed makes so much sense if you want to carry more than a surfboard!
Kit looked awesome then and still does.
You know what, This is really COOL! I like it.
Work alone for thus project how amazing sir.... Welldone...
If and when I get my ‘01 TDI Jetta back from my daughter I am doing this. Love it!! Before I gave her to my daughter we had a love/hate relationship. I loved the mileage and that she was a diesel. But she wasn’t a truck. Being a truck driver for 24 years I’m partial to trucks.
👍 nice best wishes for your vision of 01 TDI Jetty. Once I went Germanic I am German for life. All I spent prior on garbage domestic carbage (my forced opinion )Now I am buying cars because I want to not haft to. Maybe you can share your own work. Best wishes
really dope. love guys who can build things out of nothing or almost nothing. Really cool
what an incredible project, without words. imagine a Jetta, leaving with 4 doors? congratulations
You have made volkwagon even better even ferdinand porshe would love it
that was very sharp I like that I'm an S10 person and it looks very nice
What an excellent idea. I believe there would still be plenty of demand for small pickup style vehicles like this for so many people who'd like a light economical pickup car/truck like this. Excellent concept and demo, Mark Smith. :-)
The home built Smyth utes have definitely filled a void...cut em all:)
I can't say enough about this video. I really x100 love this.
Very satisfying watch, thank you for posting. Great stuff 👍👍✌️
Amazing. You have some crazy skills. Video quality is awesome too.
Dope stuff... Should be a club just for those... Would look sick seeing a crew of those cruisin'....
That was fricken awesome, love it.
A great looking job , my only Beef would be using pop rivets & not doing any welding to give it any Strength , the ute Looks fantasic !
I built one of these around the same time as this one was being built. I still own it and use it frequently. Mine has the 2.0T motor with the DSG box. Great combo. It hauls a load and it hauls ass. BTW, you do know that all civil aircraft are riveted together, right? If it's good enough for Boeing and AirBus, it's good enough for me. My GTI based Ute usually hauls a couple of mountain bikes or canoes, but has also hauled over 900 lbs of junk to the dump a few times too.
Weve learned alot in the 8yrs since this vid was posted.
3m panelbond is THE way to go, at that point the rivets just hold it till its cured.
Mines so stiff ,when I jack the front end up on one side to change a tire, the other side comes off the ground within another 2".
When you do the same in the back, it pretty much lifts the whole back end from either side.
Thanks, I watched this in research for my video: DIY UTE
Thanks!
É UM MAESTRO!!!👏👏👏
As usual...Impressive work!!🙏😇
Nice work best looking vw I've seen and I don't normally like vw, s

Lo asombroso de este trabajo es que fue CON PUROS REMACHES, SANTO DIOS, NI UN PUNTO DE SOLDADURA....
From zero to hero..Awsome !!

in Brazil volkswagen manufactures a pickup with the name Saveiro
Nice work! I really dig it.
Cool car and thanks for keeping it as a VW and not like some kind of audi hybrid like others use to .👍
Thanks for showing me how much skill and dedication I don't have! LOL!

He needed a truck! Great job!

Dear Brother
You are superb One Man worker

Nice. I miss mini pickups and so does my brother. He has an early 90's S10 that's over 300,000 and has no idea what to replace it with.
Look the car in Brazil, the name is Saveiro. Its a nice car.
Your vídeo is cool, i like.

Ficou mais linda do que originalmente!!👏🏼👏🏼
Very good job and good idea
Trabalho magnifico, criatividade nota 10 ! boa ideia para fabricar in Brazil.
Amazing job
La verdad quedo muy bien los felicito
I am tempted to do this but I would copy the inner side panels and cab panel bend out of 18 gauge metal, and weld to structure and along bottom edge to help stiffen it . I think it’s cool !
Very nice job
Whoa that's cool 🤘🏽
Great work
This is awesome keep it up
Stunning.
I would love to see a convertible one. Now that would be something. 👍✌️
Good job Mr

Not enough thumbs up for this clip. Needs more thumbs up

Perencanaan yg matang.

Wish I had a place to take my 2007 convertable bettle to get some like that.. Great job. Life is good The L
That looks. Great
Te felicito muy buen trabajo. Tengo un bora tdi y me encanto el trabajo que isiste genio
Transformação de muito bom gosto. Teria sugerido usar lanternas da Saveiro "G5" ou da Jetta Variant, seria mais fiel à Volkswagen.
Faz a sua
Turnt out cool
Those have being on the market for a long ass time in mex. Chevy , nissan and vw got a model like that
Super projekt ja to bym chciała zobaczyć BMW turing w takim stylu
Fico lindão a caranga top
✌😉
Espetácular
Parabéns
Nice job
Good job sir
My dream car 03 Navy gloss jetta 2.0 manual ute
Reminds me of the Zubaru Brat .Great invention , Nice to only carry the girl friend without her mother.🤔. Was it made in U.S.A🇺🇸 ?
Looking at it, and remembering the commercial that introduced the GTI to America, I hear that parody they played in the background of them... with a new twist!: "Spridel U-T-IIII...!"😁
can that roof be bent instead of being cut ?
Cara voce e bom de mais
Show! Parabéns.
Te quedó bien donde consigo las piezas para hacer un vehículo así como lo hago
Nice job amazing
Incredible
That is pretty cool
This is cut and paste😂😂love it though♥️
Question is tht an authentic tail gate from vw! And is tht part of the kit!
Honda Crosstour AWD "UTE"...that be something
Better than anything VW has come up with so far.....time for them to wake up
that is fucking awesome man,wish i could do one just for fun.
Super cool I want a custom mini truck from a sedan or wagon lol
Wtf......so nice!!!
I know this video is old, but this is awesome. Are those ford explorer sport trac tail lights?
Few questions, is the design meant to be riveted or are there areas where I can tig instead. And also, what is the typical amount of time for installation? The jetta is kinda my daily lol
Wooooow Nice customs
Is the Jetta kit able to haul a full size Sport/tour motorcycle? Is the bed strong enough/Long enough and are there tiedown anchors at the front?
Wow.... Nice idea...
Mandou bem demais 👏👏👏👏
