Project: Old Yeller

Post by DOPRIUS »

A few weeks ago, a buddy and I was leaving college. We were talking about mini trucks and vw bugs, so I ask..."you would'nt happen to have an old bug that I can chop on and lower it, would ya?" He said, "Naw but I have an old vw rabbit that I cut in half and drive...I also have a little Dodge D50." So I say "Really?"...so :blah: so many miniutes later I buy the truck and title in hand the next day.

Heres a few quick pics of the outside of the truck!

LMK what y'all think of it. It may look a little rough...which it is haha. But overall its a nice little truck, and a helluva deal for how much I paid for it!

heaps of potential with this rig.....i can see jacked up suspension, truck stacks, huge rollover bar with high powered spotlights on it........looks like a fairly good, rust free starting point with the ute (truck)....well done, good luck and keep us upto date on wha you do with it :thumpsup:

Looks like a great starting point, what are the plans?

Oh, and I saw this in a random search the other day, you might be interested.
