Hi Guys, been bored so I have started making a car trailer using an ex-boat trailer (wide bodied). Here are some pics, will post more as it progresses...... forgot to do the first one before I cut it

The wheels were on the VN SS that is now a shadow of it's former self!!........

So far it has cost me about $800

Anyone want a cheap VN SS that was only driven on Sundays........(behind the trailer)

Yep..... you could say that Trev. I am waiting for the final approvals (in writting) on 3 new builds so I can get some fun stuff happening again, if I was only a couple of hundred kms away I would come and humbug ya on the weekends!

Yeah thats good gary,
I need to update my trailer as well.
That last tow you did to bendigo and back would probably suggest you allready know this but the long draw bar is very good for high speed and if you can get the wieght on the tow ball about 100kgs with the car on it you are in business.
I use a chain and straps horizontally to let the car ride up and down with bumps, this is especially good with solid mount axles.

Anyway looking good as usual.

Regards Greg
