Part of the problem with GRP body work is recovering the cost of delopment and the space needed to rent to do it properly,ie clean heated and down wind of any houses. You've also got to add the suppliers profit mark up so your not only paying for the materials and labour plus 20% minimum. The only way to make the body work cheap is to use as little GRP parts as possible, you can get away with just buying a nose and 4 wheel arches if you make every thing else out of tubing and sheet material. Besides if you paint or wrap every thing you will get a perfect colour match which is easily repaired by you.
