Repairing a speedster after a crash

Having never owned a fiberglassed car I would like to know how in the autobody industry an owner deals with the horrible, unthinkable: Repairing the beauty back to a speedster(?)

Fiberglass is much easier than metal to work with. You pick up the big hunks of FG and use resin to glue it all back. Every town seems to have a Corvette or boat place that is good at fiberglass repairs. If it is too badly shattered or, worse yet, burned then you can buy replacement panels or splash a mold off a non-damaged vehicle for the hunk you need. There was a good article in Kit Car magazine years ago on this (both repairing and fabricating missiong pieces).

Very nice,Thanks Wolfgang. Sounds very solvable. One less excuse not to have a speedy!

I have dealt with fiberglass repair when my speedster was hit from behind at a stoplight. There was a six inch tear in the fiberglass right above the Porsche emblem. I took it to a vw shop and the did a great job. I was amazed at how well the fixed it.

Brad, Your brown(?) car looks awesome. Thanks for the feedback.

HA, The car can always be easily repaired --- its the occupants that are irreplaceable. Here's one article from Kit Car (not the ones I had mentioned though)-

Damn Beeee Rad! I was going to paint my speedster that colour this spring. I wanted something that no one else has... search continues.

The picture below was posted on ebay and got me thinking about the colour change. Although yours is a little more milky chocolate... it is still in the same spectrum.

Fiberglass is a great medium to learn with as well. Apply, grind, apply, grind. Fun fun!
