ferrettkitt Posted March 16, 2011 Share 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.
