    custom rear springs at the mo
    but plannin to experment with some 60mm corsa springs, or some astra hatch ones!

    dont see what the prob is, just given my tax mot'd and insured van and give it a clean solid shell! its only one year newer shell (could even be the same year), still the same dimentions, same shape, same size!

    Nah, it's all Astra estate stuff, IIRC.

    Nah, for me, this is more awesome than your mk3. I love reading about your mk3 and seeing the photos of the build, and there's no doubt that it's seven shades of awesome.

    But this is truly epic. Welding racking over the arches... it's pikey motoring at it's best, and I think it's something we can all relate to. I quite fancy a van, now.

    This is going to sound very strange, but how long are they? Can you lie down comfortably in the back? Might be cheaper than getting a tent for Billing. lmao
