VW Stretched Bus, Guanajuato, Mexico

Is this part made of adobe?

no, it's a pasta made from chemichal substances, like fiberglass , then they paint on.

VW Stretched Bus, Guanajuato, Mexico by StevenMiller.

While on a walking tour doing street photography on a vacation trip in Guanajuato, Mexico, I ran across this stretched Volkswagon bus.

Note that the front passenger door appears to be from the rear VW bus. The colors match. Next time I'm in Guanajuato I'll have to find this baby and photograph the inside too along with more details.

I wonder how the controls work and what the undercarriage looks like.

I hope something bigger then the stock engine is powering it, or it's got to be a really slow ride.

hola:
yo vivo en esta ciudad y algunas veces vi esta combi y creo que ha de haber sido un problema para encontrarle un lugar para estacionarla porque aquí en guanajuato lo que falta es espacio, creo que esa es la razon por la cuál ultimamente no la he vuelto a ver.
saludos.
