Somebody explain please??



;) I have used fibre glass sills & corners which are glued on using a bonding adhesive, the sills & corners supplied by Martin and the glue supplied from good old ebay. ;)

The glue is a bond adhesive which is used to stick on spoilers and body kits and stays flexible, I purchased on Ebay from Wayside Adhesive Direct, It seems to do just the job.

Really neat fit[^] If it's solid underneath and you are just replacing the outer panels it's the way to go:p

These panels are certainly looking the business - nice work. Hopefully Martin's hard work will help others without a welding setup to save a few more vans too :p Liking the respray colour too :p
