My fibreglass repairs are stronger than the original shell.
You cannot tell from the outside.
From the inside, they just look thicker.
Totally agree. To follow on from my earlier post, if you were happy with the car as it was before the crash, get it repaired.
You will be unlikely to find a replacement that matches up to your expectations considering the time you have put into it and the level
of finish you are happy with.
I made a mistake 30 years ago, restored a TC Special and crashed it hard within a month. It sat in bits for years as I got too despondent about
it. Finally sold it for crap money just to get it out of my sight. In reality I should have been far more sanguine and just got on and repaired it.
But, your car, your call....
