Fix it yourself with some fiberglass or epoxy? Not sure, tbh.

Looks like I found the art on ifixit.com

Now it says that this is very difficult to do.... Ah man , I wonder if I'm up for the task.....


Basically on the bottom where the screws are held it is broken. Would be impossible to glue as it is broken in two pieces on both sides. I need to replace this.... If I do it myself I can buy it for $130 and maybe an additional $10-$20 in parts or have apple do it and they can charge me $300+ if not more.


I mean this laptop while excellent is probably only worth $500-$600
(if I'm lucky)


What to do, what to do.......
