[DML] Body repairs



Hallo!
To introduce me: I`m 26, living in Germany, near Stuttgart. Two months ago,
I bougt my baby, VIN 10284, grey, 5speed. Needs many repairs.

My question: Does anyone have knowledge in repairing body parts (glass fiber
reinforced plastic; is it called GRP?) The a-pillar is badly cracked and so
is the bottom of the passengers side. Someone did some repairs before, but
it does not look very well, so I want to redo it really good.

My problem: glass fiber mats are easily available everywhere, but the
two-compound-polyester "glue" which is intended for repairs on "normal" cars
does not seem to stick very well on the black GRP (?) material. I tried it.
- Does anyone know EXACTLY what sort of plastic was used for the body?
- Does anyone know what kind of "glue" sticks best to that material?


Funny: The VIN is 10284 but my frame has got the number 10281 written on.

Last question for today: Does anyone know of a company called FRANK GATTO &
ASSOCIATES in Miami, FL ? They were pre-pre-pre...owners of the car. I would
like to know something about the history of my car...

Greetings from sunny Germany...

Ralf Philipp
