I am trying to decide whether to replace or repair a couple of items on the 81 Jr, I have been working on and would appreciate your opinions. These are the cabinet bottom plywood and the trim around the bottom. Below are some photos of how these currently look after stripping.

The plywood is missing part of one layer on the bottom, but could be repaired. Since it is on the bottom, you really won't see it.

The trim is really only bad in the front bottom edges. Mostly on the left. I didn't know if there is some way I could build this area up with wood or filler to repair.

Please let me know what you think.

Thanks, Bill
