Well done. You are a braver man than I am.

Fantastic job! My father owned a sedan of the same model back in 1962 here in Australia. It was as tough as a tank! The only thing I didn't like was the shag carpet in the rear. Loop pile would have been nicer. The paintwork and the wooden steering wheel were works of art...well done! Φανταστική δουλειά! Ο πατέρας μου ανήκει ένα sedan του ίδιου μοντέλου πίσω στο 1962, εδώ στην Αυστραλία. Ήταν τόσο δύσκολο όσο μια δεξαμενή! Το μόνο πράγμα που δεν μου άρεσε ήταν το χαλί θαλασσοκόρακας στο πίσω μέρος. Loop σωρό θα ήταν καλύτερο. Η βαφή και το ξύλινο τιμόνι ήταν έργα τέχνης ... καλά κάνει!

Well done guys , had a panel van used as a camper 1957,

Except for the `carpeting`in the rear, this is a very nice restoration, considering what you started with, you've done a very good job.

In the van, the back was without investment. Knowing that the carpet is out of season, and very modern, I installed it, so that when I travel with it, I can sleep in its deep pile. Unfortunately for me, it seems to me that I made the wrong choice, which I never used.

Ye it’s a short doors model meaning 1950 and latter so it’s a phase 1a vanguard
