The sides

  Once rolled and tacked to a a box section base to bolt to the flatbed, box section was placed at point where fastening was required. This is where the cabinets and interior plyboard will be fixed and also the door.
 It was easier to do this whilst  on a flat surface. Lines were pre marked onto the same sheet that had the outline of the profile and the sections were tacked place.
 
 The chassis was then placed on he 8′ x 8′ steel bench  and the sides were tacked on flush with the outside. More 25 x 25 section was cut into 6no. 1200mm long lengths to use as roof spars.

 Once the sides had been squared up the spars were clamped in place at equal spaces along where the roof would be using a sash clamp, and were tack welded into place. The whole thing suddenly appears to take a familiar shape, and at last it feels as though some progress is actually being made.
