whats the funky little clamp things with the wing nuts called that you used when doing your corner repairs? i have seen them before, but cant remember the technical term!

looking good, keep at it!

The clamps are called "intergrips" and are available from Frost or via fleabay

Hope that helps Gaz..

Really guys all these views and nothing to say! im must not be doing something right!

I'm reading and watching, not had much computer time free - I'm just about reading 2-3 of my favourited threads a day at the moment!

It's all looking good, and don't worry about the lack of responses - my thread doesn't set the world on fire.

Afraid not my man.

The van had skinny steelies on when I got it and these are off my old 850 saloon. I never ran arches on that so can't decide if I do on the van or not, if I do it will be the black group 2 jobbies.

Yes I also need a new set of caps. However, had you seen how much they are new!!!!!!!! I might try knocking the dents out with a hammer and dolly.

I won't be running arches I really don't want to drill the body on this one! I don't know about the caps might have a look at the auto jumbles they are a lot for what they are!

New panels arrived today will get a pic of them up later. :)
