Topdog Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 Me too Griff, I just need to get some welding done, then it is down to JD for some sanding stripping and throw some paint at it. Quote
ferrettkitt Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 The Sankey trailer that I bought off a forum member is exactly the same I've been stripping bits off it and I can't help scraping off the loose paint quite therapeutic. It was bought as spares donor for my other narrow track trailer but I realised that it was better than the one I was going to rebuild. Must do a blog thing ma jig on the trailer strip down. Quote
