Hello all,
I'm starting to disassemble the interior bits for reconditioning, and ran across a botched repair on the rear seat panel, the frame and panel that bolts to the body and holds the fold down cushion/tray. Anyways, someone apparently replaced the panel and tried to put 4 speakers in, then removed them. What was the original panel and frame made up of? 1/4 inch plywood and a spruce wood surround? Were the joints glued and screwed? or?? I was thinking of replacing the surround with oak, and put in 1/4 inch, good quality plywood to strengthen things up a bit, especially where the hinge screws went in. And then there are two sheet metal reinforcements on the bottom corners, were they original or has someone attempted to keep the corners square?
Thanks for any help on the subject!! And if anyone has the video for the interior replacement they would like to sell, please contact me off list. Moss wants $70 for the thing now, which is a bit much.
