@tomwright943 with it being an old diesel, Thats how much it would cost, I only know this because I wanted a mk3 diesel fiesta, the car was cheaper than the tax
When I was 13 / 14 I used to hang out at my local car junkjard often, just to soak up the vibe of those old cars. 👍 for the channel, all the cool old skool builds, and letting us relive the good old days. Best of luck with the build. Kind regards from 🇧🇪
Been following for a while now but this is the real gold! I’m excited, similar age and grew up on Vauxhalls, your scratching all the “itches” us Total Vauxhall / MaxPower generation still reminisce about. Fair play to you and your boy - this is gonna be a blast!
I raced that blue Corsa through Leeds years ago. I was in a transit van with a rover T16 turbo engine fitted. I noticed it’s low hanging exhaust and thought that’s got to have a rear diff. Then a mate shared a video of speccy flying round a field. The famous corsaru, Fun times
My mate Ben has a combo, I’m pretty sure he’s retrofitted a 1.9 150 CDTI engine into it! He’s done a wicked DIY camo paint job on it as well… He also owns a Corsa C track Day car which is something to behold!
I had a 1.7td converted combo running 30psi boost and a ton of fuel. Was a right laugh! Had a flipped rear axel and if you went round a corner too fast, the rear doors would fly open 😂😂😂
Love the wee van.. Stick with what you know! Drop a C20 with f28 in the front and get another Omega boot floor for the back, I still have an f28 transfer box lying in the shed, if you need it you can have it.
Love the combo b van, would be epic with a 4x4 conversion but even better if you could keep the width exactly the same and keep the exterior as is. Great to see the corsaru again, mad old little car is that
I know I have said this a few times before on other videos of yours about i can't wait to see you start working on your own cars/project because im pretty sure me and alot of other people would love to see you and your son filming and making videos of you doing/working on your Audi quattro and the Corsa/omega and that beautiful little blueish purpleish van So please for all of us that love what you do and your videos please make more videos of you working on these three cars And a big thank you from me and everyone else for all the hard work you and your son do to make these great videos ❤
Awesome dude.. subscribed this is going to be epic.. love your enthusiasm 😊😊 my dad was a Vauxhall dealer and owner back in the day and I worked there for a while in college holidays, weekends etc drove loads and owned classic Vauxhalls.. good days 😊 Pete
As soon as i saw the blue corsa, i knew straight away whos it was. Ive seen it doing donuts irl 😂😂 sounded insane and went like shit of a stick 👍 his tigra was mental aswell. The turbo was mounted on the front bumper looked unreal 👍
that is really quite the work of art, it takes a fair bit of skill to do that and get it all lined up more than you would think ,very ingenious . Just found your channel subbed
Cracking vid mate, combo 25xe nice bit of old school grunt. Sounds good. Not too much power. That’s what I would do. Keep it looking factory with the old gents livery.
mate im loving the content, personally would keep the combo as is because where do you see a mint original one like that now a days you know. and the corsaru i have not seen in years i also seen it in videos and then it disappeared. good to see someone still owns it. and for the other 2 b builds i can't wait to see what you do with them buddy! good luck and can't wait to see the vids pop on the progress! :)
We used ro have a combo as a pool van at work. Picked up the most speeding tickets as it didnt get booked out just taken. The managing director used to be on the war path everytime a ticket came through.
If you're going to mess with that van use the 2.8 but throw the 4wd in aswell. Reason being if you use a van as a van the weight in the back means a lot of wheelspin when you start bumping power - especially if you tow.
9:17 Honestly mate call me insane, but with all that room in the back you could A: fit a v10/v12 in the rear and drag race it and blow the doors off people or B: since you’re known for your twin engines….👀slap 2 engines in tht bad boy and get that shit launched down a dragstrip Best of luck, much respect you* motivate and inspire me to get stuck into building daft little cars (especially vaxhaulls) and enjoying the experience. Thank you for all your knowledge and hours of hard work and dedication to build your own community in the car scene You’re the man and your son is so lucky to have such an inspiration as a father 💪🏼💪🏼
Modified it up with 18s coilovers etc she was called old bessy and got a picture of my grandson cleaning her with me brilliant machine. Unfortunately work got in the way to keep on the road
His a tune on the banjo! If the cab roof is rusty on the van there’s a guy near Leeds who makes fibre glass ones my son in law fitted about four of them
The Van Needs the Corsa GSI front bumper A GSI Bumper custom fit to the back and Side Skirts wheels made to look like it came out of ghe showroom like that in red 😊😊😊
I used to have a astra MK2 van like that body but petrol 1.3 but I put a 1.6 cav engine in and the gte front bumper seats and the alloys lowered it looked battered as it was my work van to carry my tools and welder but that was 25 years ago
Keep the combo as it is. It’s too nice. That 1.5 is a cheap to run gem. Convert it to a mini Camper Van.
It costs 345 quid a year to tax...
@@AdeyThatCapriGuy😳 is that the going rate for a camper?
@@tomwright943 just vans in general are expensive to tax and insure in uk
@tomwright943 with it being an old diesel, Thats how much it would cost,

@@rosskidd7243 oh dear me........ this camper van dream is gonna cost a bomb😳👍
I love those 2 words, " Stitched in ". They make things seem so easy, anyone could do it at home in a few hours, no tools required. Stitched in.

1.9 CDTI in a Combo B or Combo C?
@@RWL2012 It’s a 2004 Combo
I love those combo vans to look well with gsi bumpers and skirts
Really good video i remember that Scooby powered courser doing donuts it was all over Facebook 👌🏽👍🏾👍🏾
Love your passion for what others see as scrap... Utterly adore it. Fair play.
I had a 1.7td converted combo running 30psi boost and a ton of fuel. Was a right laugh! Had a flipped rear axel and if you went round a corner too fast, the rear doors would fly open 😂😂😂
Back in the day I had a C20xe combo van in white, loved it, use to catch load of people out 😂
I had a corsa b combo absolutely loved it. Kept it out of the scrap yard for 10 years. Mine was the 1.7 Isuzu engine
All of them was isuzu engines in the 1.7s
The b van is wicked!!!
Love the wee van.. Stick with what you know!

Very cool and exciting things coming, can't wait to see what you do with the corsmega or omorsa or whatever it is, that combos a nice find too
I had a 1.7 diesel corsa back in the day ,, loved it
Went to western wheels in it and back from wales on £5 derv ❤❤
Shame to break the purple one, surely worth saving as is?
This is going to be a great build I am looking forward to seeing
I know I have said this a few times before on other videos of yours about i can't wait to see you start working on your own cars/project because im pretty sure me and alot of other people would love to see you and your son filming and making videos of you doing/working on your Audi quattro and the Corsa/omega and that beautiful little blueish purpleish van

Jesus christ beardy some good throw backs here. You really do love your corsas fair play 👍🏻
As soon as i saw the blue corsa, i knew straight away whos it was. Ive seen it doing donuts irl 😂😂 sounded insane and went like shit of a stick 👍 his tigra was mental aswell. The turbo was mounted on the front bumper looked unreal 👍
Noo way i remember that old corsa b and the corsa c thats so cool
That's it, Beardy has lost his mind 😂. Look forward to this build.
Looking forward to the builds lads
Can’t wait for this build!!❤
Love that combo. I’d toss a 1.7 TD in wind it up a bit and make a nice part hauler
Awesome!!! I freakin' love this channel!
Gotta love floorpan swaps,.whatever you do, just film it for all us followers 😂
Chop chop chop it!!!! Gooo on lad!!
Good to see speakies corsau still living in hibernation 1st car getting me into building cars..
Holy shit balls, I was only thinking of the GAZ'D Corsa a few weeks ago! And Isaac in there too!
that is really quite the work of art, it takes a fair bit of skill to do that and get it all lined up more than you would think ,very ingenious . Just found your channel subbed
I had a couple of combo vans excellent vehicle Ideal when you have a large dog.
Cracking vid mate, combo 25xe nice bit of old school grunt. Sounds good. Not too much power. That’s what I would do. Keep it looking factory with the old gents livery.
Be a mint tow vehicle for the beast ! 👍🏻😉
Quality stuff. Had to get rid of my VXR D Corsa after puting so much work in to it and I’m so gutted
Soooo much to look forward to! 👍🍺
So many good ideas and projects.. but when gets one of them finaly done??
mate im loving the content, personally would keep the combo as is because where do you see a mint original one like that now a days you know. and the corsaru i have not seen in years i also seen it in videos and then it disappeared. good to see someone still owns it. and for the other 2 b builds i can't wait to see what you do with them buddy! good luck and can't wait to see the vids pop on the progress! :)
Proper love your enthusiasm. Proper petrol head.
Stuff dont need to make sence, it needs to make you smile... Good on you
Save that mans van
We used ro have a combo as a pool van at work. Picked up the most speeding tickets as it didnt get booked out just taken. The managing director used to be on the war path everytime a ticket came through.
Never seen a car with a moss dashboard, good luck with this project lad
The van is ace nice find.
Can't wait to watch it what ever it is
What the hell was John Malkovich doing with a combo 😯😯
If you're going to mess with that van use the 2.8 but throw the 4wd in aswell.
Reason being if you use a van as a van the weight in the back means a lot of wheelspin when you start bumping power - especially if you tow.
That is nuts. Fair play
What a great haul of yokes
greetings from Greece 🇬🇷
Engine from the blue corsa Red top combo 😎😎
corsa b combo thing is epic
Nice few projects there tec. 👍
9:17 Honestly mate call me insane, but with all that room in the back you could A: fit a v10/v12 in the rear and drag race it and blow the doors off people
or B: since you’re known for your twin engines….👀slap 2 engines in tht bad boy and get that shit launched down a dragstrip
Best of luck, much respect you* motivate and inspire me to get stuck into building daft little cars (especially vaxhaulls) and enjoying the experience. Thank you for all your knowledge and hours of hard work and dedication to build your own community in the car scene
You’re the man and your son is so lucky to have such an inspiration as a father 💪🏼💪🏼
That vans is superb! I'd keep it standard lower it nice rims and a mild tune! Sunday car boot taxi 👍🏻
I’d love those throttle bodies for my nova 😊
Modified it up with 18s coilovers etc she was called old bessy and got a picture of my grandson cleaning her with me brilliant machine. Unfortunately work got in the way to keep on the road
I would make the combo a daily gsi front and skirts and engine swap
yeah vxr the van will be good to see
Yeah mate vxr it nice sleeper !
This is a crazy project
Floor swap!!!! And keep it for ever
😂 A VXR combo would be funny 😂
Nah it wouldnt
That’s just a meriva VXR then
@@DanDan-ox3qm 🤷🏼♂️ what ?
@@paulthompson5416 can get a Vauxhall Meriva in the VXR has Corsa vxr engine in and goes like a train
His a tune on the banjo! If the cab roof is rusty on the van there’s a guy near Leeds who makes fibre glass ones my son in law fitted about four of them
Could you send me some details. I really need one. It’s the only rusty part on the van
I’m building a xe nova if your breaking that corsa please let me know what parts your getting rid of and how much I’m very interested
Combo needs tubing and some huge street legal drag tyres on the rear.
The Van Needs the Corsa GSI front bumper A GSI Bumper custom fit to the back and Side Skirts wheels made to look like it came out of ghe showroom like that in red 😊😊😊
I had a opel ascona c model from 86 1.6 zwap to 3.0 24 valve 🏎👍👍
Corsa paradise
A 300 shot of nos is insanity 😮
Will follow this project closely!
Guy in my town built a Subaru powered Corsa combo. ❤
That 1.5 is Izuzu derived. Fit a more modern DMax unit making 160bhp and acres (350+nm) of torque, keep it as a workhorse just a powerful one.
Hell just sit it on a IZUZU dmax ladder chassis and have yourself a 4x4 tow van.
OMG your in Weston ryhn the village I crew up in I rember that corsa flying up and down the village
Corsa D running gear sounds a good idea in the Combo, but I would use the 1.9 CDTI D you have, not the VXR :)
Leave it looking standard an what ever you swap it on to just clear coat it for originality🤙🤙👍👍
No way I seen that car around my way it's sick
Love the corsa van
Corsa van sleeper all day long but keep the paint work as is as homage to the old boy who’s van it was you said a vxr floor pan and all mod cons.
That’s a t shirt pal 😂
‘ I wana do a donut ina corsa ‘
🤙
High powered combo camper van would be cool
Keep the van as standard ..........it looks so cool as it is ........
Omega sounds like Amiga in your accent :D :D
Old computer for back in the day. I have an Amiga 500 plus 🤣🤣🤣
My misses has been in that corsa aswell 🤣
Deffo z28net the combo 💯 😱
I’m looking forward ❤
I used to have a astra MK2 van like that body but petrol 1.3 but I put a 1.6 cav engine in and the gte front bumper seats and the alloys lowered it looked battered as it was my work van to carry my tools and welder but that was 25 years ago
Had 5 combo bs 3 at once wish I kept them
Hi mate I have corsa d vxr 1.6turbo lump may be of use to you for the build. Head gasket needs doing but yours FOC :)
For the van I mean
I think a 1.9 cdti would be a cool swap
Gotta take it back to the chap when it's done for a drive
Old Frank Spencer's gonna have a hairy canary if he watches this and hears your plans for his beloved van😂
