well starting my project combo van, yes its not a corsa but its near enough. lol
anyway bought this a few months back to use for my mobile valeting company but the way it looks is just not me, so getting started on it to make it a one of a kind custom show van still with the everyday use capability.
i bought the van off a mate who used it for his plastering company so you could imagen the state of it the first day, so got to work valeting it.
first of all i took the stickers off and gave it a quick wash this is how it come up:






then i did a tester with some new polish i use and this was the outcome:


then all ive done since then is put 2 new tyres on the front, and get a new chip in the key for the immobiliser as was playing up, not bad for a start really.



Today ive started removing the black stripes and the badges from the side just need to finish getting the glue off. then its move onto the rear badges. will get pics tomorrow when there all off

cool thanks for that pic!!! gona b a big help, love the front bumper!! also
stavs- ive always wanted to mod a van(ideas were escort van) however thats not the point ive got this van. i want something that is completly unique. thats why im going for this van. escort vans have been modified more times than i can remember but this pic above is the only one ive seen modified. also im looking at ply boarding all the back having some seats, big screen and a ps2 or something of some sort along with chequer plate flooring, full sound system and all the above plans, at the end of the day its something i will love and enjoy working on, and something unique for me(and my dad) to be proud of! the van is in good condition for its age a little bit of bodywork on the outside and also the kit, and then all the time and money will be on the interior, its going to be a custom show van well thats the plan! thanks for all the replies though and any more pics that may help please post them up or any little things you think may look good post it up. thanks again

The owner's not on any in the UK. Look where the steering wheel is, its left hand drive. Probably a German/Dutch/Belgian owner
