Patching old body kit made out of fiberglass

[240Zdragon72]

I got an old (I think) Kaminari kit from the guy I got the Z from. Front air damn has 3 each cracks and 1 split in it. Can this part be fixed?

Thanks:

Ok, the things you will need are:

Flap Disc (Or similar grinding device)

Some Epoxy Resin and Hardener (not polysester resin)

Some fibreglass matting or tape etc

Surface must be oil free, and all old paint etc removed.

To start off, grind back the crack, till its a V shaped depression fairly wide around the area, the brush on some epoxy, lay on some fibreglass mat, and wet it down well till its transparent. Wait till this is set, then grind back the other side till you reach the glass you just made and repeat the afore mentioned procedure.

After this is finished and set, it can be sanded back and filled using just normal car bog then painted over normally.

Cheers Chris

PS Its bloody messy, and fibreglass splinters make you itchy (I've just spent all of yesterday putting a new floor in a boat) Also wear a mask, itchy lungs are bad. If you have any more questions just ask
