Update: Door Card Refurbishing
Earlier, I posted that the door cards needed work. The (I believe) OEM optional tweeters had parts that had fallen off, and the bracket holding one had become loose behind the panel. The previous owner saved all the parts (speaker grille, etc...). Most people would have tossed the parts in the McDonald's drive thru trash can... Thankfully, this car had a
really cool previous owner. I lucked out. However, time had gotten the best of the fabric coverings, as the glue holding them in place had loosened, and the fabric was just flapping/sagging in the wind...
So, the following was completed:
-remounted tweeters
- cleaned panel
- cleaned/de-greased fabric; let it dry completely.
- dremel'd out panel that holds fabric.
- essentially, removed and re-glued fabric
As always, pics tell the story.
Finally, another
very important update.
Drum roll please....
