Just a hunch, but I think attempting to mount an engine into a fiberglass bay, and suspension to fiberglass body might present some insurmountable technical issues. Safe to assume that isn’t the whole car that’s made out of fiberglass. ---

Could just be a reaction the fiberglass had with the primer causing it to bubble or something that looks like rust. Fiberglass likes to go weird things ---
