Hello,

A small hole around on the front surface of my bulkhead turned into a gaping wizards sleeve after I poked around it with a screw driver earlier on. I also found at least another two holes, one of which was big enough to fir the end of my thumb through. I have sanded the surface down and got it back so solid metal and then bridged the holes (and filled them) with some isopon (fibre glass resin). I will be sanding it don and painting it tomorrow. Is this a good enough fix for an aera that isn't so much structural but more cosmetic? I do feel like it's a bit of a botch but then again, should it actually be okay? I know that there are alternative options such as bulkhead corner repair panels etc.

Cheers

i dint think yer could bridge oles in cars with filler any more, its just for smoothing dents out ,

i would of cut it back and welded a small patch in and then touched it up with filler if needed, but only as long as the hole was patched proper,

only take fifteen mins to put a little patch in , takes longer to make it lok pretty after
 
Aye as TC says;) Mines was pretty bad and ah gave up and bought another bulkhead. There wasn't much worth savin' on the old one... wouldn't like tae think what might've happened in a crash or summit!!

I'll do it properly once Summer comes around all being well. The rest of the vehicle is reasonably solid mind. Just the corners of the bulkhead unfortunately.
