Hm.

Bondo is your friend. It's not terribly fun to use however. That steel mesh can be bought from home depot as chickenwire, it's the same stuff. Angle grinders are your friend. You will need to know how to weld for serious body work.

Once you have all the spackle - oops I mean bondo - sanding and priming out of the way, consider how you're going to paint. Spray paint sucks and is terrible value for the money. Buying a paint sprayer can be a PITA process and make a mess. Consider rolling the paint on your car. See the SOURCES list. If/When I get around to painting the MR2 this season, I plan on giving this a shot.

I recommend The Paddock - they have a Nova specific catalog of restoration parts.
