PERFECT RIDE- even if only PhotoShop
Hi All,
Had to share this amazing ride with you...
From the Samba, guy did a Photo shop of an existing car, but boy, it looks great.
So I was bored today and decided to do some photoshoping. To whomever on here owns the square that I used for these pics, I meant no disrespect to your car. Just thought it would be a great base for my image.

Man O man that looks good I think it looks better than the beetle pickup
It's not how fast you get there it's how you look when you arrive.

Most definitively.The only thing I would change is putting fatter tyres at the back

Re: PERFECT RIDE- even if only PhotoShop
The notch (unlike variant and fastback), does not have air intakes on the sides, so not ideal for this conversion. There were pictures on this forum of a type 3 bakkie from Gauteng.
How would a t14 or t34 Karmann Ghia stationwagon look?

Staying Aircooled is so much nicer.

You quite right, the Photo Shop was done on a Variant.Dawie wrote:The notch (unlike variant and fastback), does not have air intakes on the sides, so not ideal for this conversion. There were pictures on this forum of a type 3 bakkie from Gauteng.

But I would use a Notch, why.. you ask... Because I like the roundness of the back window, side curves, and back valance, It will be a hell of a lot more work, but that is the challenge......

With you on that one, These VW's that are so low with skew wheels always remind me of a dog with a broken back, or a covering dog.Golfmad wrote:Looks like the suspension broke..... sorry but funny skew wheels looks kak to me......
Total turn off............
Much prefer nose down stance myself...... . . (with strait wheels, not skew)
Thats just me.....

Re: PERFECT RIDE- even if only PhotoShop
I have one, a little rough but still a nice pick-up/bakkie. was built by the original VW trend about 15years ago. It needs a few small rust repairs and a respray and it will look good again.
was thinking of matt black with red rostyles. no idea how to photo shop unfortunately.

Re: PERFECT RIDE- even if only PhotoShop
Very nice...
When it had stopped working, maybe you can treat it to a good retirement, with paint job, wheels and all things nice, and proudly show it at car shows.......
