Hi,

Basically im wanting to build a crazy v8 mk2 mr2 with custom body kit, front and rear clam type boot/bonnet, slightly lengthened and a tad wider.. can you advice me on the type of carbon fibre would be best suited for looks and light weight? how much carbon fibre would be needed to do a pretty much an entire outer shell? also wanting to custom engine parts / inlet etc and a carbon dash... i've done alot with fibre glass but i think my project needs to be carbon as im wanting to show it on completion, advice on materials and prices would be great.

Thanks

Gary

Unfortunately you cannot activate the GC50 in this way due to a slight formulation change a couple of years ago.

Also the spray featured, the manufacturer ceased trading and we have been unable to find a perfect replacement. We do have our FusionFix GP Spray Adhesive which is epoxy compatible. However it is not ideal for surface use as it is not invisible and will need to be cleaned off after use. A light application between layers of carbon will cause no problems with inter-laminar strength.
