1 bondo is a brandname of a resin used for filling in dents in
bodywork. Used properly (less than ~ 1/8" thick) there is
nothing wrong with it. It is easy to apply, when fresh it can
be sculpted with a knife and will sand to a nice smooth finish.
If you are doing 50/50 body work on your race car, it is a lot
faster and easier than spending hours slamming out the dents
and can be applied a lot thicker. Chances are that the body
panel won't last long enough for the bondo to crack anyways.
2) Spridget is a concatenation of Sprite and Midget, 2 badge
engineered versions of the same car, built in the MG factory
from 1962-1980. The frogeye sprite, or sprite mark 1, is not
considered a spridget because it looks significantly different
and because there was no midget made at the same time as the
frogeye.
3) Joseph Lucas, as in the Joseph Lucas Electrical Company
is also known as the prince of darkness due to a partially
deserved reputation for poor quality. Of course the only electrical
equipment worse than Lucas is Marelli, Ducellie (sp?), Bosch,
Delco ...
