Its just going to make fitting the rear (or front) bumper a pain but im sure we'll get round it.

I was thinking more of the inertia trying to get it rolling than when you were actually moving :p Long as it's being braced somewhere you should be fine though :)

I still doubt the force is enough to rip a weld. Even one of my welds lol

just dont tug the trailor and your welds will hold out.

Mike popped up again so we could do another full weekend on the trailer :)

After popping out shopping sor some bits and bobs, we got back and started to complete the hitch.

Firstly, attached the hitch to the A frame

Then we started bracing it up to ensure I dotn lose all the club gear on the way to an event lol

Connected up the handbrake

Then we started on tidying up the join between the hatch front and the saloon shell

SHould get loads more done tomorrow than we did today as we spent half the day driving around shopping for stuff!

At first (without reading) I thought "that's going to look like a stretched limo type affair" but no - something completely different. Looks like a reet larf! Subscribed! :thumb:

Today was quite a pleasant dollop of Win. After wiring up the electrics, we turned our attention to the problem of mounting a barby in the boot.

Looks like a normal Saloon boot

Hopefully more in a few weeks, want to keep the pressure up now as show season is approaching!

Haha thats class Lee i likes very lots lol


Is it getting a tailgate on the front then to close the hole, is it going to be a Joff-esque sleeping device, sort of spare room to your pikey van bedroom:thumb:

For your next challenge, put all that on hydraulic rams, so soon as the boot is popped it all does it auto stylie, proper trick lol not asking much am i lol
