right then good news and bad news
1 or 2 of you will know i have just gone self empolyed a few weeks ago so im no looking for a vauxhall combo van to use for work.
heres the bad bit, the car MIGHT have to go in order to fund this unfortunatly. i really dont want to sell the car but its a case of needing to. if i do sell it i will be putting it back to standard and keeping all the parts for once im all set up and running and when i buy another one
at the moment its looking like im gona have to and i havnt even checked how much insurence will be for both a van and a car yet.
only time will tell.........

why dont you just strip the back out of your corsa and turn it into a van? with the help from a wooden floor, and the rear window tinted, and the side windows removed and replaced with some welded in tin and flush it into the body. you could then have a really cool, car / work van. but still cheap on insurance because you could class it as a car.

astra vans no good, i've looked at them and had mates that use them. you cant get a cement mixer or anything big in the back. and if you want something out the back you've gota crawl in and get it

yeah ideally but insurence would kill me, and i can get a combo van with a 1.3cdti engine which will be cheap enough to insure and good on juice.
