here,s some pics of my trailer,
had for 20 years and wouldn,t change a thing, except a decent winch would not go astray,
hopefully you might get some ideas,i can cart gravel,move fridges etc,with loading rampes being able to move into different positions,so i can drag a trolley up, motors etc.

What happened to the torana thread josh?

If its still at the panel beaters what about the rest of the car like door trims ,crash pad,light surrounds,bumpers, and grill ect there's lots of things that could be progressing

even without the car.

You have the budget worry about a car trailer when you have a car that carn't be driven on the street.

maybe we can turn it around ,anyone got any pictures of car trailers,i,ve always wanted to add some kind of air foil to the front of mine,that is in previous post.

mainly to protect the front of car from stone chips.

Not a bad idea Craig.

Ive just finished giving my trailer a major refurb after 20 years of abuse.

New gaurds,siderails,a winch mount,and a couple of other bits and pieces.

Its at the sandblasters now,getting blasted and 2 packed.Ill take some shots of it as I piece it back together with

new lights,winch,wiring and tyres.

Shoulda took some shots when I was chopping it up,it was pretty untidy,but I didnt.
