Nice one Joe. There's certainly worse out there so it looks like the brother has a good project on his hands.

You can bet there is more tin worm underneath that, :cry:

The whole door surround is available as a panel, if that is of any help.

Check out http://www.somerford-mini.co.uk/pdfs/Ca ... iolet,.pdf
for a list of the panels available. Indeed, Somerfords Main Website has a lot of good downloadable info on it, worth checking out.
