Yahoo Autos Watch a Guy Turn an Old VW Jetta Into a Pickup Truck in Just 30 Minutes
We, and you, are constantly lamenting the absence of a good, small, fuel-efficient pickup truck in the U.S. market. Quit whining and take matters, and a Sawzall, into your own hands, with this Smyth Performance Ute kit that turns any 1999.5-2004 VW Jetta or Golf into a ridiculously awesome compact pickup truck.
The $3500 kit contains an aluminum inner pickup bed assembly, fiberglass outer bodywork, and instructions to lop off basically everything behind the front door of your four-door Volkwagen donor car. As evidenced by this 30-minute time-lapse build video, it's actually a surprisingly easy kit to assemble-no welding required.
