lor=darkblue]Hi everybody,
My name is Hugo and I’m from Portugal.
In a near future I will start a new project, 1953 Panel Van BD, and off course I will need a little help with some details.
For now my question is:
This model use interior mirror?
Thanks in advance.

Didn't have them installed at the factory- only on Deluxe models. But it could be added later as extra. |

olor=darkblue]Hi everybody,
This van in the ‘80s took this stupid paint, but fortunately has never been remounted again. It was stored in a warehouse for the last 20 or 30 years, and for that reason I can buy it last year in this magnificent state.
Here it is!![/color]
Soon will start the complete restore in the best place to do it in Portugal, VINTAGEVANS.

Well, it might look a bit weird, but I just LOVE the paint scheme. it looks like a big Tekno or Lego toy ! It is so freaky, let it alone and roll it like that for some time ( can repainbt it later anytimes)! and put a red lightning graffitti on the side panels ! just thinking...what a nice project _________________ Hotrods, Fords, Veedubs and Triumph Twins !

lor=darkblue]Hi everybody,
Thanks for all comments.
I’ll try to keep this baby as left the factory 60 years ago.
After the restore I will put same old sign in the side panels to advertise my spare parts shop.
@ Is it the one who was for sale on "custojusto" many weeks ago? – No, was a friend of mine that gave me the opportunity to buy it.
As soon I have news I will place some pictures.

The van looks very fresh Hugo, considering it has been stored for 20 years.
Re-commissioning should be straightforward as bodywork looks sorted.
What is the history on it? Do u have pics before it was repainted?
Also I don't think the 53 panelvan came with a visor from factory. _________________ SBS #20 UK

color=darkblue]Hi everybody,
@ vwsplitvan, I don’t have photos before the restoration, because I only bought this van last year.
Some photos from the chassis:[/color]
