Think Robbie has a nice black one with a z20 let in?
That white van is fucking superb.
Although IMO the 888 one off astra van was by far the best and prob still is due to it simply been an original 888

Aye, thats the one, but that guy on the astra forum isn't my cousin.
Only pic I have atm, ill try and get some nice ones soon.
Edit, just read that thread, guy mentions:
quote:
1 boost pipes missing
2 engine management light was on
3 abs light was on
4 oil leaks evey were
and that was in the first 5 mins so i just walk away
Dont think theres any boost pipes missing, its running fine, only thing i noticed missing was the spark plug cover. Engine managment was on, had it on the machine at vauxhall, whatever it was, its fixed now.
ABS light wasnt on when I was in it, so maybe that was fixed?
And theres no oil leaks, at least not from what I saw.

Might want to take the turbo blanket off, they result in knackered turbos.
