The form likewise accompanies a Peugeot sunroof, a Passage F-150-propelled bed, and a Porsche Cayman guard.

The Volkswagen Bug is irrefutably perhaps the most unmistakable vehicle on the planet, keeping a similar plan structure for a really long time, highlighted by the Bug-like body. It's more interesting to see the car in a different body configuration made for a daily rather than a two- or three-day show because of this.

Jo Riley, the proprietor of Jo's Fab Lab, gave the Beetle a pickup truck-like makeover. Riley demonstrated his Sharpie-created VW Beetle pickup truck build in a two-part video series that was made available by Hand Built Cars. The build includes two doors, a bed, a BMW inline-six engine, and bodywork graphics.

Despite the fact that the build resembles a Beetle, Riley has included a BMW E46 chassis he obtained from his wrecked BMW wagon. In the meantime, he acquired his wife's Beetle, which was also destroyed when the engine was tanked.

The Ford F-150, which some may recognize from the taillight, is said to have inspired the pickup bed. At first, Riley used air suspension to lower the vehicle's body and install 17-inch wheels. He wasn't happy with the general appearance, however, so he chose to level up to a 19-inch set.

The build's exterior package includes a front lower bumper borrowed from a 2014 Porsche Cayman, an E92 M3 exhaust, and US-spec VW Beetle headlights. In the meantime, the interior has a layout for two people, Recaro seats, a black carpet, and a sunroof from a Peugeot 206.

Riley uses the vehicle as a day-to-day driver and as a workhorse for pulling freight for his shop. He urges anybody to go for the form in their minds, as the sky is the limit, as demonstrated by his BMW-VW Slug-Bug project.

One model is the 1963 VW T1, which we found on eBay quite a while back. The proprietor spent a detailed $60,000 to not just think of a committed pickup bed but additionally transform it into a speedster, tuned to convey 330 hp.
