feretzrus Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 This was part of a tiny fleet of vehicles for use within the Volkswagen plant only. Converted from the Beetle and used to move whatever was needed about. The mid-50's Beetle done by Gunze Sangyo was chopped off just behind the rear door, the bed built up with sheet plastic and details added with plastic stock. The seats were smoothed out and the dash cast for the '46 Beetle was used. The simple "jeep" spoke steering wheel was created using the existing hoop and column, using staples for the spokes. Another fun conversion that didn't suffer from "overcomplicateitis".... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Most Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 I love it. I've thought of doing the same thing to the GS kit- looks like a very workable basis for such a conversion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
