New door cards fitted in Josie. We painted the back of the cards with 3 coats of clear varnish to give them a bit more resistance to moisture.
My fingers are still sore - you probably know this but if you have the original clips to hold door cards on, hang onto them - the new ones are garbage and don't fit properly. Unfortunately I was missing quite a few old ones - they had broken or rusted or were just missing. Speakers are not going back in the doors. Also found a piece of door stay that was just sitting in the bottom of the passenger door - it opens and closes fine so it must have been replaced at some stage.
I am pretty happy with the results.
