to the final finish took time that i have and a bit of money $370.00 to be exact it was the money that made it take so long and the scrounging for parts and stuff,well this is the final outcome

Well done, any inside photos of the trailer.

The tow vehicle looks bloody good, especially for the cost. And I think the bloke spraying looks familiar :smilegrin:

Not sure how those newspaper windows will go at speed. I know they are cheap, but I think that is taking it a bit far. lol

the windows i hope they do i payed enough for them and i was assured that they were the latest thing
and as you can see in pic 5 the planing department were at it all day with drawings and models:lol::crazy::crazy::lol:

thats awesome,
i always look at teardrops as being the perfect companion for a kombi due to their light weight, just out of curiosity, what does it weigh?

cheers Johno

weight is 380 kg empty so you can double that when loaded i would think
