Mk1 Golf? Check. Full build? Check. Great photography? Check. Well, this one ticks all my boxes. Thanks to Oli from Supermade for the heads up.

VW Kombi + Trailer
More crazy contraptions from our Scandinavian friends. This time it’s some Finns who have created a VW Kombi trailer made from an unused cab, complete with airbags, tubs, and some big American Racing hoops. If that isn’t enough, it actually gets towed around by a matching full-size Kombi. Thanks to Jani-Matti for submitting this one.

RWD MKII Jetta
Mid-engine RWD MKII Volkswagen, sounds familiar, doesn’t it? That’s because a very similar project was featured here over a year ago [click here]. While this one definitely shares some similarities, one point of difference is that it’s a Jetta, not a Golf. You have to give these guys props for ripping out entire floor-pans and [...]

Korrado
VW’s have featured prominently on this site for one reason; there are just so many well modded ones constantly being churned out all over the world. But even so, a lot of them seem to follow the same (successful) formula. OEM/rare/3pc wheels, slick paint, severe drop whether it be bagged or static, clean interior, shaved [...]

Sliding throttle bodies + DIY metal casting
I’m pretty sure this is the most extreme and creative use of DIY I’ve ever seen. Sure, some people have access to CNC machines, or they might be handy with a lathe, but have you ever seen someone CAST their own parts? The owner is even creating his own 16V head and a sliding throttle [...]

VW Golf MKV Track Build
Another one from Justin, this time it’s a Dubai residing MKV being worked over in track-spec fashion, with two paint jobs plus a custom wide-body conversion – gotta love rear diffusers. Not too many ‘build’ pics at the beginning but it’s still a really sweet ride with plenty of nice photography. Credit to crankandpiston.com for [...]

Re-inventing the wheel
Remember the remote-mount turbo MKIII Jetta build? Well the owner is taking the customisation game to a whole new level by scratch-building his own set of one-off wheel centers. Thanks to Ray from RAW WORKS for reminding me about this one.

V8 Volksrod aka Lexibug
Let’s kick off this new blog with a build, shall we? VDubbin submitted this one to me last year, and it’s one of many builds sitting in my drafts waiting for a feature. VW Beetles have been chopped and changed many times over the years in countless different styles, and there seems to be no [...]

ABR Golf Racing Caddy
I caught a glimpse of this animal on the MK1 section of VWvortex (another one of my favourite places to lurk). Luckily someone located some more info on the project and posted up a link. I can’t wait to see this thing completed, it’s definitely something different.
