Andre,
I have enclosed a link to my panel van pictures below. This car is from a deceased estate, and the original owner had it from new (I have every piece of documentation since 1967 when he bought it!). At some point he cut rear windows into the back panels, and put some seats in the back. Luckily he cut into the middle of the panel, so most of the important pressing part is still there, and I can weld up the windows without too much drama. I'm going to restore the car back to original so I will be removing the rear seats and remaking the wooden foor that was there with some help from Aaron Britcher that has another spectacular panel here in Australia.

Its going to take some time, as I have 5 other VW's and a 356 that I'm in the middle of restoring but the originality and rarity of these things (Aaron tells me only 500 or so were made) means its worth holding on to. I may even eventually sign write the panels and give it a real 60's delivery van look.
All the best
