Awesome find, if only for the cords!  I sure hope that crack in the housing didn't just happen recently when the phone got dumped into that pile.

Looking forward to more pix as you progress through the project.

OK, finally have a couple pictures.  I decided not to sand the housing to remove the stains on the side, I just cleaned and polished it the best I could.  Same with the crack in the corner, I glued it but didn't file/sand it smooth as that would have made an area of "perfect" color that didn't match the rest of the phone.  Anyway, here's how she looks.  It worked just the way it was, too.  ---Eric

Great results there!  And depending on the room lighting, the color variations may not even be noticeable.  Though if anyone asks, just tell your friends that dogs & cats come in those color schemes too:-)

I love it! Rose beige is a pretty, underated colour.
