teardrop


not sure where to stick this no not there eather
but this is a little build that i've been doing for the last year or so,I was given the frame of an old trailer only thing worth saving was the running gear.so from this start
http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g104/greedy53/trailer%20build/31052009.jpg
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
http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g104/greedy53/trailer%20build/sideviewe.jpg
oh and the tow vehicle that was bought for $500.00

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:

I thought rebuilding a VW would be cheap - Shit I was wrong, just don't let the wife know !!!!

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?
