    No Mate, that's it! You realise now that the mini-bar, mirror ball, TV etc, etc, etc,........ is only ONE step away!

    STOP RIGHT NOW!

    No problems, I also used Velcro to hold the sides and cupboards in as you will see soon

    Seems some of the pics have disappeared, here are the pics of the building of the back. It was all held in with 3M duolock Velcro as I didn't want to drill holes in the back afgain after welding them all up.

    This is the arch / divider

    The back needed a little more colour so being a Signwriter it was easy enough to make up a SANDMAN logo and recess it into the carpet in the rear
