I have two bits of fibreglass on my 1850, one is around the petrol cap area, the other is in the inner rear arch on the same side. I cut all the rust out and made sure I put plenty of resin on the glass. That was 9 years ago.
When I can afford to have the NOS rear tonneau fitted to the car, that's when both pieces of fibreglass will be gone. For now it's waterproof and the rust was cut out. The petrol cap area looks like someone has repaired it - I'm no good at prep and paint.
Trying to get a paint repair to blend is a nightmare, I generally give up and do the whole panel and have never managed to get a decent finish. Reason why the pros charge so much.
One thing I noticed with my rear wings is there was sealant between the inner and outer wings. I assume this was put in at the factory, makes it a pain to weld, you have to clean out all the goo but when I cut away the old wheel arch from the offside the sealant had stopped the rot in its tracks.
