Entirely successful but needed a lot of fettleing. Regards Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerryjeeprichard Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Hi Dave I have the remains of two stores trailers, had anticipated making one good one out of the two. Down the line on the restoration front, please post some images of yours? regards Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffo Posted December 11, 2017 Author Share Posted December 11, 2017 I haven't done much to the trailer since last time I posted, work and family commitments took priority! i have some spare time this week and I'm hoping to sort the draw bar out this week and get a rolling chassis. hey Richard do you have any spare bodywork for me to copy ??
