It looks good, get it running and stopping and use it as it is.
I might be wrong, but it looks like you could make the rear door open either to the left or right, as it has hindge holes and handle holes on both sides. Unless you could get one with two doors on the back.
I have pictures of one in a scrap yard over here. Will hunt them out and look.

The little one sleeping under the shade of the tree seems to be the same as your one. The other is a Thames and the remains of a Commer. With the popularity and price of split-screen VW's I think this type of stuff will become more popular too. Commer has quiet a nice face too!

A bloke over here bought a Commer van for $150 off a farm a few years ago and sold it to a bloke in England for 2000 pounds !!! They are pretty popular over there.
