How To Repair Lexan Body

[mtl_slo 0]

Since my car had a few meetings with walls and other stuff (especially with previous owner) its body is in quite bad shape. Few parts are broken and barelly holding to the rest of the body.

Is it possible to fix this in DIY way? The car is Tamiya 959 so new body is not an option, since it would cost a fortune.

Apart from using shoe goo to stick it back together, or using tape or gluing lexan patches onto the inside of the shell - No, there's no way to repair lexan to an acceptable state. The 959 body has the additional disadvantage of being incredibly thin/fragile in places.

Have you looked into the repro 959 bodies?

Kamtec do a Repro 959 which you maybe interested in. Sadly as HunterZero says once lexan has split there isn't really an acceptable fix.
