The Vanny Magnet

[Mark]

Just thought I'd show the Van I built a while back.

1998 MK4 Astravan 1.7TD, bought from my old employer for £300 with a blown gearbox..Spent a fair bit, but it was worth it in the end. Full blow over in red again, and a few choice bits.

The beginning..



The middle..



The end..






The Total Vauxhall Write-up..

very nice mate should do an engine conversion ie turbo or v6

[Mark]

I sold it nearly 2 years ago. And bought a Cavalier Turbo 4x4.

that looks good mate, see when you say a full blow over, is that just another term for a respray?

have you got pics up of your cav turbo mark?

[Rich P]

how much did all the mods cost in the end?

Yes mate, respray in same colour.

I'll put a thread up for the turbo later.

Couple grand.

i read the title wrong then, must have a dirty mind lmao

I would have liked to keep it and fit a redtop, but it was the van or a Cav turbo...The cav won.

no competition there

[Mark]

lol - No, I think I made the right choice.

[cunningham]

i love modded vans theres just something about them

[Mark]

I think it has something to do with numbers...you see less modded vans than cars and that makes you take a bit more notice.
