I am an electrical engineer and not a joiner so this proved to be incredibly difficult and time consuming, but I am quite pleased with the result... Finnish birch ply and a LOT of precision routing, dowelling and sanding. The final finish was left to the experts at Streetly, my baby was taken to their paint shop and I am WELL impressed. Streetly were also invaluable for various bits and bobs which needed replacing as the rebuild progressed.
