Haven't found much on here to do with the good old GRP and peoples experiences making repairs or using it for customising various aspects of their cars.
So thought I'd start a topic just for that... come on, there must be lots of you who've got their hands dirty using this stuff.
Unfortunately I haven't, but intend to soon.
I was browsing for any decent suppliers and came across several using Google searches. I intend to initially make minor repairs or fill in gaps and strengthen certain bits of the body.
Ulimately I might need to make changes that require some customised sections out of GRP (I'm thinking here about maybe creating a custom mould to encase a new petrol tank that sits at the back of the boot. this would require that I cut out the rear section of the boot allowing a new tank to sit further back. The new mould would encase behind the tank and be re-attached to the back-boot section. Obviously allowing enough clearance from the axle movement below it....although this might never happen depending on what tank design I get sorted).
So please go ahead and share your GRP artistic endevours, photos, success and failure stories, and hints and tips for all to learn from
BTW, on searching for suppliers I have so far come across these co's which seem reasonable so far:
CFS Fibreglass (Cornwall)
East Coast Fibergalss Supplies (Tyne & Wear)
Any in Cambs/Lincs would be appreciated!
I did notice, after checking Frost's website, that their Fibreglsss supplies are almost twice as expensive as those above!! So it pays to look around.
