It’s an ‘82 with no rear hinges, gaskets or window, and the seal between the cab and fiberglass portion is pretty much missing.

I’ve never worked with fiberglass and don’t really know where to begin. The damage isn’t serious or structural, just need it looking good under paint. Any recommendations before I dive in? Bondo glass? Thanks!

I worked on a camper shell years back and found most my info on YouTube and info through westmarine.com. The WestSystem kits are the best, or we’re at the time. It’s all about prep and mixing your proportions right. WestSystem kind takes the error out tho.

Any boat repair place can take care of the fiberglass if you don't want to do it yourself.

Evercoat fiber tech is a good product for small fiberglass repairs. I’ve used it a handful of times on corvettes and had good results. It’s just like body filler except for fiberglass. Wear a respirator.
