right as the title suggest its not for a scoob but another car . i am tempted to take of the door trims . but there is a about 12 (2 cm hole )over the door panel where the trim attaches to the 106 . so will fibre glass from the inside be ok , then body fill and spray it to the same colour as the 106 bodywork work ??

also where is the best place to get:
home kit of fibre glass from ?
best body filler
which grades of wet n dry sandpaper to use

Cheers

arite mate do u mean after takin the door strip off ure left we sum holes to fill from the clips if i was u i wouldnt fill it with fibreglass on the inside then fill over it from outside if it was me id weld in little plates in inside to cover these holes then fill on outside this way theres no fear of fibreglass comin off on the inside it shouldnt really as its quite strong arite if its just tiny holes anythin bigger would plate up m8 just my opinion been there and done it wee plenty of cars not long done my audi a4 and i plated inside

leave the holes save weight

exactly that mate from the door trim clips it leaves tiny holes , reckon im going to do what u said as that will be a better job and last longer , how much would it charge for a body work to weld the the holes up i can do the filling and all that myself though
Cheers for the advice though mate

did the same when i de-locked a metro (yes a rover metro!!)

fiber glass the hole from the inside, i used a few layers of fiber glass too, once hard and dry, i filled the outside of the hole with p38, then sanded down flat

few bits





also did the same for the left hand window wiper holes too

i used the halfords crap fiber glass kit and also p38 filler. to sand down the filler i use a very ruff paper then worked down to a fine one, before it went for painting i resanded the whole car down.

for other things i've done with fiber glass on my pass cars -

Rover 25 detooth grill and smooth


Smooth tweeters for a fissta mk5


Smooth Gague in vent for a MG ZR


if you sit down and plan it mate, you be fine, just remember to put light layers for filler or you be there for hours rubbing down lol

Fibreglass and filler in metal panel holes = cracking get it welded.

As mentioned, weld up the holes, then lightly fill. The less filler you can use, then better as its less likely to crack or shrink over time.
