Well, what's worse: a el cheapo fiberglass (blown glass, not even
a good weave) or b 3/4" plywood with 4 layers of fiberglass on it
so that the wood is only a "strength member"?
Actually, the car was purchased after a fire. The whole rear end was
destroyed. We replaced the remains of the firewall (that was burned thru)
with a plywood/fiberglass "firewall". With twin fueltanks surrounding the
engine, a Lotus europa is a firetrap by definition. I carried a CO2
bottle with me at all times (inside the passenger compartment)!!
