http://groups.msn.com/GottaVWIt's quite easy Alan , a big set square ,cut everything square ,measure main rectangle shape( crossways on corners to opposite ends ) , When frame is started keep it level ( stands or flat floor ) .
I've worked out my design from different vw car trailers I have used ( Narsty Nash ,Dangerous , dak-a -tak ).
Chassis is painted in 2pac with clear over it .Yep nearly four years off and on since started rebirth of race car .
more pic's tomorrow !
Merry christmas and Happy New year Pete. Hope Santa bought you some nice Race car goodies!! Now that Fraser Island tours are over for a bit I'll find some time for a visit. Chat to you soon.

Cheers Brenden ,nice and windy !!
Done tie down points for race car today .May put a few more yet ,for odd bod tow jobs .Floor runners are allso done, floor sheets will be steel for awhile becouse thats what I have (alloy sheets latter ). Out tomorrow ,to buy steel for draw bar frame
.First Pic : front tie down ,Sec Pic : back flip up -tie down , will tie back of car cross-ways (left shock point to right tie down on trailer ) this stops car from sliding sideways .
nice,and neat,lookin good.
down sharon.
Thanks Westi !! from a cool fabricater like or self .I just think that ,you should all ways try your best .
Started today on drawbar ,i think i will make it a tilt trailer style .I used a string line to make a centre line ,so can work
out the length of drawbar.
A spare tyre and winch has to fit up front (900mm) Plus trailer hitch (300mm),so I decided on 4foot (from front chassis bar,1220mm) drawbar length and there is a 100mm gain with hitch ball as well (1320).
Draw bar runs back to leaf springs (40mm off) This will be where it tilts from .I decided to have a bend in the drawbar so to have 400mm straight section along chassis from leaf springs for a bit more strength and chassis support.
next job , fit hitch and tilt brackets .
Looking good mate. Have to say that the grass in front of the shed has never looked so green LOL

While it's raining again, was able to do some more .Trailer now is starting to come together ,springs and axle next .
You seem to get a lot of work done when I'm not there bugging you. Who will be the first bludger to want to borrow it ( Excluding me )
Starting to look complete but flooring ,lights , number plate ,mad guards , wiring , crap more then I thought to finish this thing .At least it's rolling now !
A few more on going pics .
Sorry for slow updates !! The last month has been very testing (rain & rain and more )
Trailer is now painted and rolling on wheels .Lights are next and front nose cover for race car and on the way to Portland .Hpoe to have trailer ready for Saturday if I head to willowbank for a cruze around pits .
Race car is very close but becouse of time and money (rain slowing down detailing ) I've had to stop being so neat or finish on somethings .
Paint on glass front has played up with many cracks openning up (painter will fix but he is so bussy at shop)
In side tin is very close at being done (couple more nights )
Pic's soon .
Yes tin work finaly done (inside ),finishing off some small jobs now but time is still flying along !
Jobs , tow hook ,wheelie bar slots ,stickers , windows back in, adjust steering wheel ,fix brake leak and now I have found that i can't get 3&4 gears ( hocky stick hole wrong ,bus one )
Tomorrow afternoon off to get car ANDRA tech and this will be a test tow for trailer .
We hope to be of to Portland Wednesday morning
Peter The both of them are looking awesome.
Good luck with ANDRA
