fibreglassing kit, ie matting and resin or fully formed grp body panels?

If matting and resin have a look at stephen Gusterson's web page he has a link there to a recommended supplier.

If formed body panels take your pick, but its prety much dependant upon your chassis choice. a few of the maufacturers body kits are interchangable with other manufactueres chassis but check carefully before you buy it

Sorry,

I meant the kits with resin and matting....

I'll have a look at the links you mentioned.

I only really need a small amount to bond in some inner wheel arches.

Many Thanks

Matthew

if its real small amounts you might be best going to halfords, although ONLY buy a kit from there if your planing a small job and not lots of small jobs because its not cost effective at all

You can get small kits from car factors for about £10 with a piece of matting and enough resin and hardener to wet it. O.k. if you don't want to wait for delivery and have loads left over but expensive if you need more.

if you cant find any then i may be able to help, my dad owns a hardware store.

small kit: 0.170 sq metre matting, £8.20
Large Kit: about double the matting, £11.70

or you can buy resin and matting seperately:
resin: 250ml (£3.20), 500ml (£6.15)
hardener: 20gram (£1.50)
glass matt: .55 sq metre (£2.95)
tissue: 1 sq metre (£2.90)
ali mesh (this is best used with p38 but does make it very strong.
