Hi,

OK. Here are the photos (with apologies to anyone using dial-up):-

I guess the front side pieces might get by with little more than touch-up, but the top & front upper trim were stripped & possibly stained (by the previous owner) & need re-finishing. To get it all to match may mean re-doing the sides too.

Roll on springtime.
