- In this episode I inspect the body work and chassis before making a decision on saving it or scrapping it.
I am still trying to get used to talking to myself and a camera so I mumble a lot and after watching back, realise I may not explain certain things properly.

Nice one lad, be a tidy van all fixed up like, nae see many kickin about these days
Good decision, it's a nice van and deserves to be saved. The old motor is lucky to have made its way to a VX fan with major mechanical skills! Looking forward to the rest of the series. Thanks for posting :-)
Thanks Wilf! Glad you are enjoying the videos☺️

used to paint under mine with used oil . messy job
Sorry if I missed what's wrong with the engine what about buying a 1.9cdti astra mot failiour and using that.
Head gasket failure. I’m a little bit further on with it than the videos. I’m editing part 4 as I write this so I won’t give too much away 😉

doesent mtter the milage new engine going in its that milage on the new engine that counts ,but yea soilid we van i would save it ,a brand new engine milage would be put to o :) lol take care buddy
I was just curious what the mileage was. I won’t likely know the mileage of the replacement engine and even if I did , who’s to say that engine hadn’t replaced an engine too. So the mileage wouldn’t be guaranteed. I’m a big fan of high mileage motors though. 110,000miles is really low to me.
All the best buddy

It looks in great condition, it even has rear arches! The only bit might be the fuel filler area, my Coupe went there a wee bit. Wouldn't you consider doing the HG on it? These Isuzu engines are meant to be good but I know HG failure on them is quite common. I sniff tested the engine on my Cav TD tonight as it runs a wee bit warm sometimes, all good though. I'm looking forward to the next video, enjoying the narration and pieces to camera.
Thanks buddy! I did consider doing the head gasket but the cost would be way higher and much more time consuming than replacing the engine. I may do it I. The future though for a spare. I am actually editing part 4 this evening so I’m a good bit further on than this video now 😁
