Here’s a nice example of a custom car the world could have easily done without.

It’s a pick-up version of a Chrysler PT Cruiser, a car that went out of production more than five years ago.

It’s called the PT Cruiser Widebody and to get it looking like this, the rear passenger compartment was removed and replaced with a load bin. To complete the look, a widebody kit was fitted and some changes were made to the interior.

No performance figures are available, but the PT Cruiser was never really sold as a performance vehicle, so it’s unlikely this PT bakkie has anything to brag about.

It never felt like it was working hard, and after 2 400 kilometres, neither did I.
