[W126 Coupe] Gen 1 burl-wood glove box door?

[Josh Allen]

I should be able to salvage the door for the most part, or possibly 
disassemble the bits from the SD parts car I have sitting.
Mostly I'm after the wood trim.

Barring finding some burl trim for that door, and the piece just to the 
right of it, I've been contemplating re-trimming the whole dash with 
something else and selling the few parts that are in good condition to 
someone who needs them to fix their car.
