surely BBQ under the bonnet and fridge in the boot?

[onlymelloyd]

Yea the BBQ will be under the bonnet. Not sure that it will be there for the Mini fair though. No plans for a fridge yet, but its a good idea, however iv got two other minis needing more urgent TLC now! So as of this weekend coming the trailer is finished

[not so mini]

It looks great. Lawrence say's can he have his shell back??? lol

Look out for you on Sunday

[onlymelloyd]

Here we go, *nearly* finished
All that's left to do is fit a boot lock, test all the lights, flat it back and give it a polish, fit some bonnet pins onto the front of the bonnet. All of that to be done on saturday!
Then go for a test run before crossing my fingers and making the 4 hour drive to bingley.





Im really pleased with it, can't wait to take it to lots of shows now

Does everyone else share my liking of it?

Just read through all of this, amazing project! Looks brilliant.

My mum's old Mini got turned into a trailer, I hear about it every time we see a dark green Mini... "That's the same colour as Neggy! He got turned into..."

[chadders15]

They are trying to this year, however if the other car parks fill up quickly they may have "invade" the mini only section. (Says the person turning up in a citroen...)

It will be in the mini only car park, my car isn't good enough for being in halls yet! I'm a Bingley virgin too! looks to be a good day though

[onlymelloyd]

Just got back from Bingley, my mission is now complete! Now for phase 2...

Left at 6am this morning and arrived there at 945 ish, got a really good space on the end of a row and saw quite alot of people taking photos over the day, incase you didn't see it here it is in all its glory


Both the car and trailer were filthy though, covered in salt and muck because it was raining most of the way there!

Now onto phase 2, I don't know if others saw but there was an amazing paul smith trailer in the halls with table, sink, hob, sound system and an umbrella, really impressive!
So, although mine will never be better I can still give it a good shot, so nexts steps are to put the BBQ in and plum it up, fit a fridge in the back using a 12v battery in the original battery tray to power it, and then if I have space a little sink, if not a little work surface for spatulas and forks.
Then again I might do something completely different, watch this space!
