ABS with fibreglass
#10
Thank you all guys for all the info. Clap Now I know what I am against and thanks to your suggestions I have worked out a plan of work. The areas are quite large so I think I will first hot-form some ABS sheet to rough shape to fill the most of it and weld it to the original material at the edges. Then use rough grade emery and drill some holes through for better holding and lay 2-3 layers of glass with the epoxy over it. Then smooth it out and use some automotive filler for any imperfections. Does that sounds like it might hold OK?

Thanks for that suggestion, but unfortunately the front of the headlight is made of glass so no go. I was thinking to use the headlight as a form for fibre glass though Undecided
