I found some panels with no holes ... The vinyl was in bad shape but the core panel was almost OK ... Tht's what I was looking for ...
First of all, I removed the old vinyl.

Now, let's clean this 30 years old dust

Not that straight, but steam will cure that

Some repairs will be needed too

With a good steam iron I got the panel straight again

Now let's do the ends ... Not easy ... not easy because the vinyl I use is thiker than the original.
