Most of the cabinets are usable but the floor was pretty rotten so the backing is being stripped out and relined in ply, I can then but my own flooring down on that when I decide what I want to do looks and colour wise.

Already have a bit of a shopping list, want to get a lower grill and a proper top one which will make it look 100 times better I recon.

Also today I spoke to Commer god Martin who sorted me out with a top and bottom grill for this. He only had some tatty ones but they were cheap enough and its not a show pony so should be alright on this with a lick of paint. Hopefully more progress in the week!
