how to repair the fiber glass body??

[esprithk]

hi, all Esprit owner.

I recently have few holes to fill up (repair) on my Esprit's body due to the following results;

(1) I have removed the High Wing of my 1993 Esprit

therefore, the original screw holes are visible now.

I will change to the 1989-1991 Rear Wing, therefore I need to fill up these holes

(or so call repair the rear hatch)

(2) the last owner made 4 holes on the passenger floor to install a CD changer.

I have removed the CD changer and now I must fill up these 4 holes...

(or so call repair the floor)

(3) the original radio antenna is removed

**Now, I use an internal one (which is sticked to the front windshield).

so the original radio antenna hole must be filled up

after filling up all these holes, I will polish and repaint the entire car body.

any advice to how to repair (fill up) these holes?

I found a BONDO FIBER GLASS REPAIR KIT

will this do??

Ideally, using a "Bondo" kit would lead to a substandard repair. You would want to start with your basics....here's a good link on filling holes:

thx for the info!

it helps me to understand the whole process.

I have talked to the carshop yesterday.

luckily they have experienced worker who's specialized in handling the fiber-glass repair works...so my worry is gone!

now..my first stage restoration is almost completed (see my garage)

I am already starting to order the Turbo kits and Exhaust system (for 2nd stage works) now!!
