Use some polyurethane foam or flower foam, block the gap from underneath or from the top by shaving to shape. Use fibreglass with holes drilled to the sides of the plastic for better attachment. Smooth back and finish up with some body filler and done.

Alternatively, you can get the holes filled back in with some plastic welding.

If you go underneath, then its more finishing up top to remove the excess glass to smooth it out. If you reverse and use moulded/shaped foam from the top then you have less work to do on the top side for finishing.

Remember to rough up and drill holes in the plastic for best adhesion of the glass and resin.

Last alternative is to put some spots back in :)
