All so I could have a go at doing a trailer.
So yesterday I thought I would make a start, once I had removed the glass, I finally remembered to get the camera and take a few shots, of the progess made. Not bad as I had never used an angle grinder before.
Trailer end
Remains to get rid of (any ideas anyone?)
Can I just send the log book of myself, saying its scrapped, or does it need doing by a scrap dealer?
Not a bad start eh!

Yes you can send off the logbook yourself, just tick the box, date it and post, simple.
With what's left I would sell everything you don't need to recoup the cost of the shell.
Check out my mini trailer with a difference project thread if you want inspiration or just to see how its done. Any questions just ask
Enjoy!

trailers looking good! but why does everyone cut the roof off? i might make one with the shell i got, n leave the roof still attatched, with the windows made from plastic or something!

I would love one of these, how much has it set you back so far?

im really thinkin of makin one now! would be really cool to have one that matches my mini! id have to change its exhaust though, as i got centre exit!!!.... i could always tie it to that lol!
If anyone wants some bits, I do have a bent, cut down, but otherwise rust-free shell, subframe, rear lights, wheels, bootlid, and rear wiring harness, (basically all the 'donor' parts), near Sudbury in Suffolk. All you need to do is cut it to the length you want, put a tow hitch on, and plate the front and top.
PM me, as I'll forget to look in here again!
