A long shot but got a WWF with a damp cabinet from being stored in a garage for 4 years (not by me). all panels have delamination and base wet but slowly drying out (backbox is ok) Needs to be a wide body (WWF or GNR) but I guess good condition side panels could be used from standard sized game🤷‍♂ and make the back and front panels from scratch.

TBH rocking horse 💩 comes to mind, but you have to have hope 😂
 
Made a new cabinet in the end 🤦‍♂️. Just got to make the backbox support panel (old black one shown in place on last photo). Not perfect but ok for first ever attempt 🤷‍♂️ Original base was not good

Brilliant job , not for the faint hearted those things are not an easy job to make yours looks great ,new decals you wont know the differance from factory
 
Just waiting on the cabinet decals to arrive, orders them 2nd October from Ministyofpinball but they refunded yesterday even though they show in stock🤷‍♂️. Had to order from Pinballcenter and they are now in transit 🎉👍. I’ll post more photos when its progressed, collecting powder coated metalwork tomorrow too. Painted the transformer too… great improvement.
