I have a 1976 citicar that is nice shape but like ALL citicars and
commutacars have little cracks and chips in the body. I also have
about 3 small places
were I need to patch the body where a small part is broken out or
missing. Has anybody had any luck In bonding or plastic welding of
any
kind? I have heard that there is few type's of plastic welders out
there
for differents typs of abs, anybody have any idea which type works
best on c-cars?
Also I would like to patch from the back
side of the body for nore holding power, any ideas on a good glue or
the best way to bond a scrap to the body. I have seen some of the
great work some C-CAR group members have done on their cars so i am
sure there must
be an expert out there on doing this. Thank you for your help.

For advice on repairing the body panels on C-cars I would suggest you ask Steve Evans. He did a fantastic job of bringing one back from the dead. You an see both before and after pictures in the EV Album at:



He also posted his email address, so you should be able to contact him for more info.

Anthony,
I bought a plastic welder from Eastwoods with great expectations of
quickly learning ABS plastic welding. Well, it has worked great for
thawing frozen pipes. Some people say welding is the way to go but I
have not had much luck.
To repair separated pieces, plastic plumbing glue (approved for
ABS) worked well. The paint must be removed from the area to be glued
or patched. For final repair and sanding we used 3M Flexible Plastic
Repair # 5895 A & B. Adhesion promoter #05907 must be used for the
"bondo" to stick well. Also, before any painting or priming you must
use a plastic primer.
This system worked well, although some cracks are returning through
the new paint. Still, turned out much better than I ever expected.
If I can help anymore, please let me know.
