fiberglass or bondo will work. I would build up behind with epoxy and fiber tape for strength.

I've heard that fiberglass resin is too hot for styrene and will melt it. I use plastistruct plastic weld, its a solvent that kinda melts the two pieces together. And brace it internally with more styrene.
