This picture was posted in the events section for a VW club in Iran. Check out the hard top and the solid doors.

Interesting!
I wonder if the windshield can be lowered; there's definitely a seam there.
Side windows are also unique.
It almost looks like the weight of those "custom" bumpers is twisting them down.
I'd bet it's pretty loud inside. The driver might need noise cancelling headphones in there!
I've never seen one like that before. |

I like the way these guys travel!
The rifle may not fit in the brackets due to four guys in the back seat. |
