Goodstuff. Every little helps!
I found in the end that regular foam would not sort the rear shock / bulkhead punching through so added some carbon fibre plates (only cos i had some scrap bits) across the ridge of that area which has solved that issue now.
My body is well bashed and had no reinforcement for a long time. I have now also used fibre glass tape (cricket bat tape) over the whole inside of the body which should stop any further cracking.
Have fun!

Anything will break if you drive it wrong enough.

Gorilla tape works better than duct tape.

I'm a huge fane of the Drywall mesh tape and shoe goo. That thing has taken a beating and I have ZERO cracks or tears. A few new holes from a neighbors dog. I was doing fine, letting him chase me around, until the battery died and he caught up.

On my VW Baja Bug body I'm using drywall tape and rubberized undercoating and the body has taken a beating and has only tore in the rear "trunk" area of the body where I couldn't get tape inside because it is a very small space and I have sausage fingers. If I get another one of these bodies I'm going to try the liquid tape mixed with shredded fiberglass strand mixed in it up in that spot.
