Not a bad thing at all, has been done for a long time. 1940 or earlier perhaps. My comment was that in order to make the panel flat and shiney like a mirror all along the vehicle you have to deal with the door edges somehow. Otoh, I recall early bussies from the 60's were flat across the door from the factory

In the aftermath of the floods this year, I saw a lot of police vehicles from other states in my hometown, including this Amarok from Santa Catarina

IIRC this picture was on the back cover of the very first issue of Dune Buggies and Hot VWs.

This Sunday there was an Emis at a local antique cars show. Also didn't have anything other than a small canvas top. If I had the chance to get one with the optional hardtop with built-in gullwing doors, similar to one I used to see in Florianópolis, would be nearly perfect for me... |

Beige Beetles are starting to be my favorite. Especially Shantung Gold (L12D) -- one year only Superbeetle only.
