The bar was obviously a home-made job, we got it appart mostly by pulling out pins! We saved the front section to use to back the display cabinet, and also kept the shelves from inside the bar as they were good sizes that might be used later on. The rest of the bar got chopped up and taken to the tip, along with the glass from inside the doors...
Next, we measured up the backing against the unit, and BF cut it out for me. We removed the lights from the unit, and pinned the new backing on.
I bought two sheets of mdf for under £10 each from B&Q, as well as some electrical tape, hooks, cable clips and some vinyl floor tiles. BF found a 3 for 2 bargain at tescos for some cake cooling trays that looked a good size to use as bars in the doors. We worked out we'd need 4 trays for each door, and only need to cut the top trays.
We taped over the inside of the doors just in case there were any bits of glass dust inside. We then used the cable clips to attach the cake cooling trays to the door frames. We marked where the top trays needed cutting and my Dad used an angle grinder to cut them to size.
