Question repair broken/cracked lexan?

old Jeep Scrambler lexan body was wheeling on a wall, but i wasnt paying attention so it took a huge fall. it cracked and broke in so many places I have no idea what to do, but cause its a simi rare body I'd like to clean it up and try to make use of it again.

I've cleaned the paint off, break fluid did the job, now I'm wondering if there is a glue or other method I can use to put it back together again.

depends on how big.
some guys have had luck with shoe goo and drywall tape.
or you can use styrene to back the body.

either way...

depends on where it broke at if it broke like on a flat surface you can just glue an extra piece of lexan underneath the broken are and your good to go or if you really wanted to go the extra mile you could fiberglass it

hope this helps
