Hi all,

I have been getting on with my first fibre glass project. While there is still a lot of work to do, I figured I would post some pictures of the progress so far and see what people think. I recon it’s a great improvement to the rear of the car what do you think?

Only problem is I think I might get a bit cared away with this fibber glassing.

As it was

That looks like it will be a real improvement over what was there!

You actually 'like' fiberglassing?! It's tedious man!

I like the fact that you see changes so fast.


I also suspect that what I term an aceptoble finish is far from what you awould accept and hence I am not yet as bored as you of rubbing down

I sure don't like fibreglassing!!! Mainly cos I always forget to open the garage door and end up coming home with a stinking headache
Perhaps I'll have to start using epoxy......

Hahaa...Epoxy is a lot worse than polyester!!!

Great improvment there by the way!

I'd suggest typing "epoxy resin fibreglass allergic" into google or some doctoring search engine. Nasty stuff if you become sensitised.

But a lot less smelly and it doesn't make you sweat like polyester (styrene).
