yeh i was surprised that it came about so quick aswell
i paid £1250 for the s2 and its got loads of reciepts with it aswell and im paying £350 for the combi,im hoping to keep the cost of building the combi under £2000

i will probably end up keeping both but using the van as a bit of a load lugger,i dont want to do anything to the estate now as ive just put the leather interior into it and its almost at a point where i dont want to do anything else to it,i did think of using the combi to tow it to shows though and having the 2 of them next to each other
