I liked the silly picture - hence my light hearted sort of reply earlier.
Its reasonably straight forward though involved if you buy new sections. Fitting the roof and getting the new guttering right was the biggest fiddle I remember from doing mine years ago.

Getting the rear doors to line up after replacing all wood, and then plucking up the courage to drill holes in the new wood for the hinges!

That looks a bit familiar!! With some new wood that car will be superb, the sills/floors/arches were good on it so theres only the wood to do! I saved you the easy bit.

Seriously, I hope you are having fun with the shed, it was always a reliable old Moggie.
