dude, without reading thru your whole thread. What timber did you use for your sides/ varnish did you use?

I am about to reclad the sides of mine

Hi, from memory its just 12mm  run of the mill Rain forest plywood. I used International paints Goldspar marine varnish. Dont use it inside, took over a year for the smell to go away. You can get low odour varnish.

Wasn't too bad.

But I don't think I will be paying to watch Clarkson and co on Amazon thou.

See Melissa in Marua road. Only does classics.

I have my inspiration. My dads a builder so ive got all the tools. On a scale on 1-10 how hard was it?  

Real easy. Get the design 100% before you start. You will have the floor and sides up in a few hours. Hatch is fun, but plan it well and you will have no problem
