fibreglass repair
Bloody wind knocked my bonnet shut and has caused stress cracks. I have always had a misalignment issue, I have now done that and now have to repair this long thin crack, hopefully without messing the paint job up to much. Have just ran a slitting disc along the crack, it appears to be just the gelcoat and paint, Any tips in what to use and way forward? I'm not good with body work, cant weld it and hit it with the big grinder :-) Anyway, do I open the crack width ways so that it has a bevel to fill and what do I use? filler, resin, gelcoat repair stuff? plus any tips on keeping it neat?

The boot lid is next, today's project :-(

Oh, fiddly sticks, or words like that, worked on the small boot lid today, and ran short of paint. Got it all blue, but could do with another couple of coats. Stuck now until Monday, hopefully I will slap it back on the car and it won't be noticed on Sunday. Started on the aluminium sides now, Solvol Autosol, or its marine equivalent to be exact. Wax on, Wax off. My hand aches :-))

I never intended in doing the bootlid but you know what it's like, only temporarily fixed, intend a full rebuild, maybe, never. Goes so well leave well alone, but starting to show its age, bit like Martin :-))

Yeah, we built him up yesterday, tear him down today. That's life. ( only joking, before I get picked on :-))
