Many thanks luli The pictures are excellent. I seem to have the outer panels but not the fluted centre. Perhaps a previous owner had access to an angle grinder ! I should be able to make the centre section Did you make the metal floor sections ? Were they wood originally ? Again thank you Charlie Ma...
