Simple question, can I cut and shut with one cut a standard engine cover to fit a Doka.
I have seen a photo some where but for the life of me I cant find it again to ask the question of the person concerned.

Or was it a fantasy!!!

Help Please

I'm guessing you mean this one on my old Doka.

I had it made from a stock van lid and it was as simple as a section cut out top to bottom (front to back) and then welding back together.

Looks factory and fits like a glove.

Thanks, I knew I wasn't imagining things. and looks fantastic so much better then checker plate and all the other "pooh" folk stick over it.

It does look so much better than the factory lump of plywood.

I take it you made or had made the rear engine cover with "Volkswagen" on it too??

I'd had that lying around for a while and one day it struck me to try it. I had the same welder educated friend weld it in.

wish my doka floor looked half a straight as that..

I have a steel hatch I am thinking of dropping in.. but with the floor so shabby.. and panels costing so much, I will prob do a different job..

Was the panel of a mk1 Caddy.
