Helped my mate build that van back in 2002/3. Southampton exhaust suppliers ex delivery van. 1.7td with almost 200k on. Salvaged Astra bertone cab donated almost everything for the running gear and interior back then. Even Had a beacon on the roof and was a real sleeper. He sold it to a lad who just ruined it. Probably the guy who scammed the current owner. Great to see it’s still going. Used to upset a lot of people at the traffic light drags around West Yorkshire 😂
I think I may of been the person that bought it off your mate. I bought it from Yorkshire as a 2.2 and was a beautiful van, it had an OPC rear bumper and lights then, unfortunately I didn't have it too long though as I had to buy a car. The bloke I sold it too stripped the back bumper off and lights for standard ones and didn't look after it, last time I seen it it was looking sorry for itself. Come on a fair way now and is stunning. Also used to have gsi rear seats fitted and carpeted out In the back.
Very nice van that, and with that 2.2 supercharged engine is very impressive.. I know a few guys who have the 2.2 supercharge conversion one has the hatch, and the other has a convertible..
What a sweet motor! I used to have a GTE 16v in my boy racer days through the 90s and it was a very similar colour. I would love to have a GTE with a blower as this looks mental!
Chris i have also been a Opel fan all my life, i have the 1.8 16v Opel Astra classic g estate, when I seen your van I am very impressed, here in South Africa, we do not get any of the nice Opel models like yours, keep up with the good work 👍
Thanks mate. The bonnet extention isn't sold new anymore so to find one it's a case of searching the fb groups and ebay. You can get a replica one on ebay but I've never seen one that fits correctly, the gap between the bonnet and the extention isn't level so doesn't look great without alot of work
@@VannedUK Please. Thank you. I'm in the UK and I'm aware a lot of the parts are sourced from the U.S. Some parts/numbers would really help and a mechanic who can get it up and running in the UK 👌
I drive a very fast Ferrari that cost a fortune oh yeah I drive I old red van that will eat your Ferrari for breakfast lol see ya at the next set of lights ,, lol may be hee hee !!??
@@VannedUK I thought so. I recognised winscar res car park and I live just down from Holme moss. Can see my house from it. I test my car on all the roads you were using absolutely lovely roads in summer time.
Love that shape astra van i had a few they were brilliant
Well done Chris mate you truly deserve this, your van is epic.
Fantastic motor dude, always loved the mk4 astra. The whine of the supercharger is mint 👌
Thanks for the mention Chris :)

Well done Chris. Nice to get some recognition for the work you put in. 👍🏻
Awesome video to show off an epic one off van!
Stunning van 👌👌👌
Cant beat Carl for knowledge on the 2.2 especially supercharged ,nice car m8
That van looks amazing! My mk4 Astra van has a redtop engine in it 😝

Thanks for your comment
Dream car the GTE for me
Love the van. Looks sick. Should have had a more serious drive though. I wanted to hear the limiter bashing and popping an banging.

Thanks Jason. I will let Chris know!! 😀
Go on Lamby 🙌🏻
Nice van
Ultimate delivery van..... Yes got your parcel sir. How long do you think you'll be? 😒... I'm outside 😆💪😎Wtffff.
Great van mate , where would i find the panel that covers the front wipers ?
Thanks mate.

Is there a kit for a Mk5 Astra h 1.8 petrol. I would really like to push it a bit from 115 hp
Would love to know where to supercharge my Z22se Astra G Coupe just like this!
Will ask Chris if he knows

Where did u get that cold air intake
As in the air filter? That came from the demon tweeks website and the pipework was from samco hoses. 👍🏻
I have an 03 plate van just the 1.7 dti as my daily, and a 25 year old Calibra
Thanks for your comment pal. Is it the 4x4 Calibra
@@VannedUK No, its the 16v eco.. Iv got a vid, not the best quality but you'll get the idea.. Both motors are in very good shape for their age
Is there anything I can do to my mk4 1.7 cdti stock engine to get it to rip some what ? Or is it a engine swap job
Hi Lewis, you could have it mapped to get a little more power out of it.
@@VannedUK nice one

Was this filmed in Huddersfield?
Hi Chris. It was filmed in Holme Moss and near Winscar res.
