Hi,
I just joined the forum and I decided to share a few picture of my last project.
Being tired not to find a proper trailer for my car I decided to make one from a second hand frame.
The body is made in hardwood but still need to be complited...wheel panels to be painted...may be during this WE

Nice one Thowy! Those scooter side panels make pretty cool mudguards.
Good thinking. A few too many accessories on your car for my liking but that's just me. Funky little trailer though.
Brooky.

a few white primer coats...but still unsure about the final colour
my wife prefers dark colour (dark red, black). I personally like white to match the car.
Still a few days before to make a final decision

Hello Dule,
I used rubber suspension units made for trailer and their specific plate are then welded directly to the chassis.
The one fitted have 350Kg load capacity (as I thought someone with a more power full car want to tow more weight – the trailer will be for sale when I come back from holiday!!!!).
I attach a few pictures. I hope it could help.
