Plastic Repair

Recent progress on Ella has been slow, as usual, but I figure if it hasn't come to a complete halt, then everything is ok ;-).

The top-end machine work is done and should be shipped back from Rennsport Systems next week.  They also are doing a distributor rebuild for me.

I also shipped out my mufflers for a Fister Stage 3 conversion and ceramic coat -- I can't wait to see how they look and even more how they sound!

That stuff will all be back before I am ready to start re-assembly -- the list of "while I'm in there" tasks to do is still long.  One item on that list was repairing a cracked plastic wheel liner and a broken under-body tray.

The under-body tray (Porsche part number 99350412900) was functional and out of sight, so I couldn't justify the $300 to replace it.  However, I also didn't like it being broken.  Last year I fixed my kids' plastic slide using fiberglass tape and plastic epoxy, and I figured the same would work on this part.  Here are a few before and after photos.
