This is another one of those “what if” photoshop quickies. What if somebody would take a USDM Volkswagen Dasher 2-door sedan (Passat in other markets) and modify it? Slap on a set of overfenders, mount a set of coilovers and wheels in a size that has never been intended to be used on a front wheel drive car. Replace the anemic original engine with a 1.8T with a bigger turbo setup and build an exhaust with motorsport components. Once finished you should have a pretty fairly decent, water-cooled, Volkswagen. I suppose it’s safe to wager a bet that it would be the only such vehicle at any VW meet. Is there anyone crazy enough to tackle this build and take it to the Wörthersee next year?

The new Volkswagen Bakkie was introduced to the South African market on April 1st 2008. It is based on the Passat Variant and succeeds the Golf based Volkswagen Caddy Mk1.
Info: South Africans call pick-up trucks Bakkies. They are called UTE in Australia.

Another car from my childhood: the Volkswagen Passat Variant 1B Type 32. I cleaned the body a little, lowered the car and added wheels from a modern day Polo GTI.
