Vauxhall Combo
For those of u that dont know what it is it has the front of a Corsa B but the rear of a very small van, bigger than an escort van though! British Gas use them and water companies!
Its very similar to this, just ever so slightly older:-

Im definately thinking of getting a cheap one, under £500, a 1.4 8v, chucking that out and sell it on and replacing it with a redtop, 2.0 16v brakes all round, lowered suspension and get some 15" vauxhall alloys! Oh yeah and a towing hitch, best mod of all! LOL!
All in all, i think it will cost just under £1k!
Before people ask why bother, because its different, i need something to tow with and I want loads of room in the back!
I think it will be a proper sleeper, especially if i put a matress in there! LOL!

i dabbled a tvr s2 the other night, quite a quick car, was impressed with it! couldnt catch me thoughOriginally Posted by BlackBeast
LOL, nice one Paul, the old man has always wanted an S2 so I told him I will get one and then let him use it from time to time! TBH I dont care how quick or slow they are compared to any other car! Its just a cruiser that makes alot of noise, and thats what I want from the TVR!
PuntoPowa - I do have it all planned out except for the rear suspension where im not sure how easy it will be to convert from the leaf suspension(LOL) to corsa springs! But i am deadly serious! The engine conversion is as easy as putting a redtop into any other corsa, upfront they are exactly the same!
Sounds like this could be fun...What brakes are u gonna use? 16v 256mm or v6 295mm *i fink*
What about the exhaust? Will a Cosra 1 fit?
Hope your gonna weld up the engine bay, better 2b safe than sorry...
Sorry u've already said what brakes ur usin...doh...

why dont you get a escort mk3 van, look allot nicer and not as tall. But who has a modded corsa van???? sure will stand out. good luck.
No need to weld the engine bay up, its a corsa, not a nova!
With regards to brakes, will either use the whole front setup from a vectra 2.0 16v or use Omega 308mm calipers and pads, then add some style using discs from a Fiat Coupe 16vt! Only problem using the Omega ones, il need 16" alloys and i cant use Omega alloys cause they are 5 stud hence the reason why i need the 16vt discs! So finding cheap 16" alloys could well be a problem!
Exhaust wise, will use an Ashley competition 1 and use a sleeve to connect the downpipe or make my own side exit zaust, not to sure yet!
I just cant stand Fords!!!!!! Exactly, nobody mods corsa vans (combo)! It wont stand out to much, the only thing ul realise is different is it will be quite loud, it'll have alloys and will sit very low!
go for the corsa combo van
