1:20 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.

[@skullettrump3424]

How much?

[@pentellpenjournal220]

i want this business to start in philippines...but how?

Saveiro copia camioneta pick up

[@suzukiyakudze2131]

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.

[@bigmanlee8732]

It would not be capable of doing work at all, Jettas aren't that powerful

[@mcshawnboy]

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!

[@BeefaloBart]

Kit looked awesome then and still does.

[@charles.stewart4422]

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 !

[@philipgrice1026]

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.

[@MrTheHillfolk]

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.

[@k2mslskier]

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.

[@MirroCosmoKenisis]

👍 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

[@jaylynch3544]

You have made volkwagon even better even ferdinand porshe would love it

[@marcelomanoel6195]

what an incredible project, without words. imagine a Jetta, leaving with 4 doors? congratulations

[@therainforest4314]

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. :-)

[@smythperformance]

The home built Smyth utes have definitely filled a void...cut em all:)

[@MacLaw3084]

Oh wow, that looks doable for a decent diyer. The kit looks well thought out.

[@davidrivas6934]

Dope stuff... Should be a club just for those... Would look sick seeing a crew of those cruisin'....

[@alfredoisaacsalasflores2333]

Lo asombroso de este trabajo es que fue CON PUROS REMACHES, SANTO DIOS, NI UN PUNTO DE SOLDADURA....

[@kajilai]

really dope. love guys who can build things out of nothing or almost nothing. Really cool

[@coconutt8612]

Iv done 6 of these pick up conversions myself and boy do they sell quick. The vw dubb gang of them

[@coconutt8612]

Love

[@MacLaw3084]

How would you describe the difficulty of the build using the smyth performance kit?

[@donofa]

Amazing. You have some crazy skills. Video quality is awesome too.

[@ervingoertzen7233]

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 !

[@babbyyellow8748]

Work alone for thus project how amazing sir.... Welldone...

[@joshimitsu96]

Very satisfying watch, thank you for posting. Great stuff 👍👍✌️

[@gregorytimmons4777]

[@Clyzzz]

Great job. Would like to see a kit in a extra cab maybe.

[@smythperformance]

[@kevinkev1530]

[@cezarywitrambowski3477]

Super projekt ja to bym chciała zobaczyć BMW turing w takim stylu

[@raymonddepardieu5403]

Hello how is it now and if you still have it and what modification did you make to it?

[@roccorusswurm3356]

Ja ... einfach Heckklappe Seitenteile und Abschlussteil dran montieren ... super. Wo hast du die Teile überhaupt her?

[@watch76]

Though it might seem redundant a pickup cap would be interesting!

[@viktoriagros5090]

Great work

[@joegarcia1890]

He needed a truck! Great job!

[@cruzitosvag2505]

Algún lugar en México que sepa hacer ese trabajo?

[@tonymcclora8054]

I can't say enough about this video. I really x100 love this.

[@gallosklevernc8109]

Good job sir

[@pancudowny]

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...!"😁

[@dl02045]

You guys have any plans for a "crew" version? 🥺🥺

[@chavesgaston444salchi7]

Perencanaan yg matang.

[@TZILLATHEMARTIAN]

This is awesome keep it up

[@bassamnawaz9814]

Looks *AMAZING* 😍🥺

[@sahibkhan7889]

Wow.... Nice idea...

[@geetarguy777]

For anyone that has built one already... this guy shows you can do it in a weekend, *I* would just like to know how long it took you and how much extra cash on top of the kit itself the finished product ended up being. Thanks!

[@MrGonzales1982]

Good video bro keep up the good work

[@superbmediacontentcreator]

Gosh, this is terrific and you are to be applauded but you need a shop and your neighbors must really appreciate having a body shop next door and sanding dust all over the place...

[@smythperformance]

for a little dust I will bet the neighbors receive a ton of help from Andrew here...handy car guys are always the most helpful sort...the neighbors scored when he moved in.

[@antontri0483]

what is the name of the tool for nailing look like pliers?

[@lennycook206]

Do you do a kit for the golf plus?

[@juniorambert7245]

Te quedó bien donde consigo las piezas para hacer un vehículo así como lo hago

[@adrianmersk4751]

looks amazing!!

[@alfredquintana7113]

Wtf......so nice!!!

[@rickarddilton8351]

nice and cool what's the cost

[@CanalAutomobi]

Transformação de muito bom gosto. Teria sugerido usar lanternas da Saveiro "G5" ou da Jetta Variant, seria mais fiel à Volkswagen.

[@BCS-gn4bu]

Faz a sua

[@frankiefresh420]

Dont they come in truck form already but from Mexico?

[@joaorafaelluizon2127]

Magnific , fantastic

[@tippman31]

[@HackersteelTv]

Nice. Keep it up.👍😎👍

[@chrischank5330]

[@samuelkaigre6304]

[@virgiliobautista5701]

Nice job amazing

[@110americalovingpatriot2]

I just bought my second Jetta TDI wish I would have seen this video last week cause I would have made it into a little truck instead of letting the dealer screw me out of it

[@eliadsavel8015]

I have a BMW 750 il from 1990 and I wonder how much can be to converted as a pick-up truck

[@thecitygunfightx]

but why is the kit just a cut up explorer sport Trac?
