and it looks like they basically ripped the entire factory body off immediately behind the engine and put their own on instead (although I could hope that these are not factory-provided fender panels..or thats pretty much very minimal protection for sideway weapon fire at-to the engine itself tho?

and yeah its interesting how its just two tiny stubby-wipers windows for forward vision, ever less if you have to keep both shut aka it probably looks exactly like trying to pilot a submarine from the periscope alone for a long time?!
(p.s and don't get me started on being chased by the bad people only for them to get a lucky pot shot hit and knock out your unprotected side mirrors cue either being blind or having to literally stick your neck out backward to see anything of your tail, I can think of at least two different humour-written movies that used that kind of effect..hehe?)
