robola 46 Posted August 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 Because I did not have to modify the top of the original door panel, I'll use it like this. I still had two panels laying around, so I decided to put in the saw. This is how it looks now.. As you can see now, I can perfectly see where the window lands once it’s rolled down. Here you can see I’m about 3mm under the window. Of course I need to close this room on the backside. I’m planning of doing this with MDF of 16mm. So I took a lath of 18mm and held it against the window, and then drew a line. What was too much I milled away , and now I have such a 5mm between the window and the MDF .

robola 46 Posted August 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2016 The four MDF sections that stand in the door I have now adjusted so that the window can go down like it should. You can see at the back there is quite a difference in terms of depth. This has to do with the shape of the window. Now I have this, I can start to adjust the original top , and fix the panel that I made. So I can have it back in 1 piece , & I can move on to the next step.

robola 46 Posted September 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2016 I was able to mounten the upper part of the original panel pretty firmly on the volkern ( Trespa ) . I was able to screw this beautiful but once all that is done, I also glued it together. You can also see the frame 2x18mm MDF which stands on the solid core. So the original upper part is tightened! Then I started to make a model where the speakers can stand into These three MDF parts are made with the uppermill. In the upper end the speakers will come. In the middle you see the outside where the grill will be placed in , and underneath it frame where the grill will be mounted in. Here you can see everything together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robola 46 Posted September 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2016 This is the piece of MDF where the rest will be placed on. The right part where the peakers come to be (model-wise) fora bout 90% complete. As you can see , it looks very blunt as it is now . Soon you'll see some changes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robola 46 Posted September 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 The part which stands in the middle of the door, I made of polyester. Of course I had to make a mold of it first. Firs I cut out the cardboard , then cut 1mm thick HPL what I still had laying around. The advantage is that you can make a good model if you clamp it, and tighten it up. Then taped everything, and cut the polyester to size. 3 Layers of cloth. This is the result You can also see that there is a rounding over the entire length . This should now be thoroughly sanded, and then everything nicely done with filler. Then I started to make a support for imposing the elbow. This will be the upper part. I also have a first mold ( the 3 front) made from MDF and then milled everything. Good thing I only have 2 doors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robola 46 Posted September 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2016 As for the armrest I did a small change . The original latch to open the door is chromed. I definitely wanted to make this view come back in my armrest I’m making. I cut out an aluminum plate of 5 mm thick and then glued it to the MDF and held against the copy milling cutter. Simple. Of this alloy you will only see the thickness . I'm going to polishing and chrome plating leave. To put everything firmly tight I have two pieces of aluminum machined from 6mm . These you won’t see anymore once everything is covered. So it would seem like the armrest is floating. Because everything is no longer flat , I provided the inside with 5 layers of polyester Sanded, and sprayed it black. When everything is ready for the doors they go on a diet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robola 46 Posted September 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2016 This is going to be the bottom side of the armrest. 3 layers machined MDF , and then glued everything together. Then finished everything and made a Pirana of it (female red lips ). Armrests are (model-wise) ready for 70% I’m going to add a little change to the aluminium. Where the red line is, I’m going to abrade it so it will look more smoothly. Meanwhile, I have to think of something original that is coming to stand next to the speakers. More on this later .
