Had a one of you lot send in some renault 5 door cards for refurbishment and a bit of modification so they could fit their aftermarket speaker grills into them instead of the original plastic grills.
1) these are the grills that the customer wanted fitted into the door cards

2) lower edges of the cards had a fair bit of water damage so section at a time they were clamped flat and painted with a thinned resin so that it penetrated the card and then set in the correct flat shape

3) cracks and surrounding area impregnated with cyanoacryalate to restore original strength

5) this area had 2 cracks, distortion to the shape and a missing fixing so it was clamped in place for teh repairs to be done

9) to mount the aftermarket grills i cut some rings from mdf sheet
http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/251803_413563388690663_42514401_n.jpg
10) mounted the mdf rings in the back of teh door cards so that they sit slightly below the level of the normal speaker aperture

11) view from the top, speaker grill tabs were already missing so it saved me a job removing them :)

12) edges of the speaker holes had seen better days and were crumbling
http://a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/255203_413563515357317_1597674683_n.jpg
13) edges soaked with cyanoacryalate to make them good and solid

15) blocks fitted to the back of the rings to give something substantial for the grills fixing screws to fit into
