[Vwdiesel] VW diesel pickup

[Sandy Cameron]

YEAH, pix please!

I dropped the power head off a 140hp 4 cyl outboard motor in the trunk of my
87 jetta today, (I'll have to use the hoist to get it out) and on the 1 hour
drive home from the lake, pondered how I could make this car into a pickup
without destroying the structural integrity of the rear suspension. It's
functionally my truck anyway, so it might as well have the name as the game.

Show us what you did. Post pics on somebody's web page. There are a few who
might host you.

>Hi VW diesel fans I have built a small pickup out of a '91 diesel Jetta, a
wooden body similar to an old Radio Flyer wagon sticking out the trunk, with
a rack at the back end which lines up with two roof racks so I can carry
lonfg stuff on top. It is getting about 35 MPG, not as good as the Jetta
before but way better than anything new I could buy. This new truck replaces
my old VW pickup which gave me 13 years of service for $1500, the new one
also is way more comfy and has four doors with some tool shelves where the
rear seat used to be for extra "indoor" storage etc. If anyone wants
pictures or more info I can send them but I won't include them here unless
everyone wants to see the little beast. Good luck and VW trucks rattle for a
new generation.
