Well, I have good news and bad news for you...

The bad news is that that chassis looks like it is beyond salvaging. What a mess! The rodent urine has corroded the chassis to the point that, going by your photos, part of it has almost rusted all the way through.

Now the good news: There are enough 41-280/285/287/290/296 chassis out there that you should have no trouble finding a replacement chassis that is in better shape. I don't have a spare (else I would offer one to you), but these come up frequently on eBay.

The speaker cone could be repaired with used dryer sheets or new coffee filters and fabric glue if you don't want to have it reconed. Where the cone is only torn, you don't need any patches; but when it has holes...
