Damaged Lexan Body/How can i repair cracks and strenghten it generally?

[TheHeadHunter]

I got this Kyosho 1/9 scale Mitsubishi Pajero body somehow and it needs lots of patching up ,overall being lager than any 1/10 size it has quite soft and floppy feeling to it compared to maybe the 1/8 Chevy Blazer Parma body I have(it also shadows the Blazer in size).
It also has all the stuff like a plastic grille , bumpers and even side mirrors attached . The Rear bumper is barely hanging off the lexan which is broken on one side , here are the pictures



I want to save this body very much since its pretty rare so any ideas would be greatly appreciated
Thanks a Head!!!!

You could set lexan patches set in Shoe Goo over the tears as long as your paint can handle the Shoe Goo some paint doesn't like Shoe Goo try a test area first.

just fiberglass it. coat the entire inside in resin, then lay a thin layer of cloth and some more resin..then it will be a hard body

OK will do so...Shoe Goo is like $14 here for a large tube ...are there different versions that I should watch out not to buy etc??
Thanks Stormin

As for the paint ,the green paint is only some water based stuff at the moment ...I might go lexan paint if I decide to change color ,is Shoe Goo OK with lexan ??

How about backing the rest of the body with that loose fiberglass stuff???

Also what glue would hold the stickers on without damaging or discoloring the plastic on the lights and grille???
