Was the original bodywork completely beyond repair? I have used PlastAid to repair the faring on my Sprint GT after a low speed topple. It cures at least as hard as the original plastic faring material. Sanded and painted, it looks great. Although my repair is minor, the process could be used where the damage is much greater, including reassembling broken panels. Perhaps a larger quantity of PlastAid and some patience might reassemble the original bodywork?

Good Luck!

Unfortunately there were quite a few pieces of the panels missing so not possible to repair as such. More a case of remodelling what's left I'm afraid :(. It's handy to know about the PlastAid though for tidying up what's left (y)
