    Biggest issue is its going to be HOT AS HELL since the AC will be pretty much unaffective!

    Yes, structurally, you can fall out, after which you will meet another structure, the pavement. This might interfere with your personal structure.

    All three of those doors are really heavy as far as doors go, so the VX might actually thank you for dropping the weight off.

    Heh, true that! Just imagine how hot you will be without doors.... I mean, how are you gonna be able to put your wondows down then?

    If you are going for the "cool looking" Mad Max factor, i would Photoshop it. I think you will be far more miserable without doors, let alone, the dirtiest interior and ever. Imagine all the sand and dirt you will get in your dash and such!
