VW -rod "police style"

[chromecop]

I've always had this "picture" in my head, of a VW panelwagon made up as a vintage swedish police car but also "rodded". Maybe this is not a "showrod" per definition, but I still think it came out pretty cool. At least 8 different VW's donated parts for this li'l "hot Rod". I ONLY used the worst parts I could find in my stash, so no "MIB" VW was cut down.

Who's that dude 😂🤔

This is a really cool concept, I don't think I've seen that combination of front/back before with the body. It's hard to do something fresh with a VW, I feel like

That is one Awesome Build

This body was done from scrap parts. Howevere there's a quite similar body done in resin by some guy in UK I believe. Might be found on Ebay...

Huh, interesting! I've never seen such a thing. You should've kept that to yourself and pretended to me that you came up with it

Sorry I can't take credit for the body design. There's one 1:1 here in sweden and 1 in Norway and Also VAG built a few similar protos befor the war. I'm just happy to have built my own, without using any resin parts and at the same time saving some old bits and pieces from my parts box!

Here's a few pic's showing the build in progress:

Thanks! But that's actually FOUR different bodies that donated parts for the body alone. Front section from a sedan, middle part (doors and window-frame) from a convertible, rear section from a panelvan + a lot of plastic-card and finally, the roof, from another Panelvan. But in all, I think 8-10 different VW's gave up some parts for this build!

Haha, wow, that's a lot of kits!

A huge effort, Darryl, great idea and execution, i like it!
