I was helping my neighbour to clear out his shed yesterday and came across this.
He didn’t want and was going to take it to the tip
So I cleaned it up and removed the very rusty mounting plate from the underside, but FML I managed to damage
it in the process
Any ideas as to what could be used to repair it? There is limited access from the bottom and I suppose the whole thing would need painting.
I’m not really expecting many sensible suggestions, but live in hope

Expanding foam filler and car body filler, then sand and paint?

Do you have the fragments? Maybe careful piece by piece reassembly with Superglue?

I’d just get a can of the foam stuff, yeah. Alternative is glue some mesh behind as per car body repair.
P.S. Clumsy cunt.

Or take a mould from the hand of that one.
Or you could stop going near stuff.
Just a thought

lol, I predict a fire and further pain.
I’d probably be focusing on unfucking it first.
