Craig i ended up contacting the Australian Agent for "Lord Fusor 116" which is the correct product to use and mixes the two parts within the tube/nozzle (using a standard silicon gun from Bunnings) and found out the reason this product is imported into Australia is body shops repairing high end cars use it as it is what is specified for the repair work.
It is expensive @ $100 per tube but i won't compromise cost for grafting those rear WB fibreglass panels onto metal as this is exactly what the product is designed for
I will be pre-drilling pilot holes and using screws to position and hold/pull the panels in place to maintain correct bead depth for the glue (you have 20 min working time)
and after the glue is set i will remove the screws and pop rivet around all the edges to double ensure none of the panel edge can ever move into the future.
The WB panel edges will then be fibreglassed over using fibreglass matting strips and stranded fibreglass to form a solid base for blending work
Same product/process was used in the red WB conversion project in the attached pics
Yes it sounds like if you have a good solid donor coupe (and if you can't verify that the red WB was ever an AMG conversion from factory) then by all means use the donor as the project car to rebuild into a nice WB.
That means you can cut those rear panels off left attached to steel and then be able to get them onto a bench and work from the back to remove the remaining metal without doing any damage to the flairs and do a proper job in the build process. As you know WB coupe versions are extremely rare in Aust (only a couple) and there are very few RHD versions around the globe, so they will always be highly sought after even if not an original AMG certified from factory and you have the correct WB Penta's to bolt up for even more added appeal.
