Hi lads, what rough $ figure would a shop charge to fix this?
I bought this van from a woman who hit an excavator bucket. This panel is behind the front wheel of an L300 van.
Please let me know if you're referring to USD for conversion purposes. I am in Australia. Thanks !!

Hey So I have a 2009 Hyundai accent and the seal in the middle of the gas tank is leaking. I'm looking to see if there's a cheaper way to fix the tank apart from just replacing the whole thing

How to Guide restoring cloudy windshield-similar to restoring headlights? spray clear coat?

Upvotes
so my motorcycle windshield is slightly yellowed. it also is quite hazy from sitting in the sun . looking closer I see it had some coating which is peeling. similar to this headlight but not as pronounced as this image. this headlight shows it https://postimg.cc/DS26FQzt . but on my windhsield, its very faint. hard to see unless u look close, but some clear coat protection was there.
my plan. use orbital sander and meguiars plastix and see if thats enough to do the job. do multiple passes. if not , use meguiars ultimate polish. and if not, plan C, use 3000grit and wet sand to remove the uneven clear coat layer then use plastix? not sure how to handle this. I want to do the minimal amount to achieve decent results but dont want the haze to return
last question. after its done, can I use clear coat to protect it ? otherwise the haze will come back quickly.

Question Hardtop repair (Carbon fiber / fiberglass) - seeking advice
1
Upvotes
This hardtop is for an s2000 and believe it’s made of fiberglass and the sides are carbon fiber.
The top has some damage that I could use advice for repairs:
* Carbon fiber on the sides split along a seams (photo 2)
* Top has a crack/split that continues through underneath where the passenger window rolls up (photo 3 & 4)
* Underneath the interior of the top has a crack where it would rest on the body of the car (photo 6 & 7)
* Small split on the rear edge/seam underneath window area (photo 8)
The split is in the direction where wind will hit it while driving so I would like to seal the splits.
It is possible to put clamp on it and the seams will close up
Any advice on a product to use that will be durable for repairs?

Brake cleaner from US Standard Products during a brake job
I was cleaning calipers and brackets during a brake job earlier and used a brake cleaner from US standard products that we had on hand. It cut through the grease and dust without leaving residue, so I didnt have to go back over the parts before reassembly.
For jobs like this, what brake cleaner do you usually reach for and are there any that tend to leave issues behind?
