K.I.S. (I wouldn't call Steve stupid)
But yeah; less parts, less trouble
Although we are talking to the man who put a turbo water pumper in the back of a bug back when it wasn't so easy....

Hi
We will use this trailer for my sons Skyline drift car as well as our bugs, its loooow so that's why I like the idea of a tilt trailer.
No matter how long the ramps are you still get a peak where they join the trailer, with a tilt trailer where the wheels 1st go on the ramps you get
trough which will cause no clearance issues, a peak will.

Hi
That's a nice useful trailer.
I often thought it would be a good idea to make up module that you winch onto a car trailer that was like a normal box trailer but with wheel barrow
sized wheels.
I found some tilt trailers made by Elf in Sydney that look to be well priced, need to do some sums on the cost of steel & running gear etc needed
to build my own.

Steve, have a talk to Larry he bought a elf trailer, not to dear and well made. Nice and solid. Tilt trailers are good just make sure the draw bar pin
were it tilts is a good snug fit.
Cheers Col

It may be a bit late now Steve, but I saw a great tilt trailer for a beetle at Comboyne on the weekend. Not sure how it would go if the car had the
engine weight too central - the bloke that owns it said it wouldn't tilt for his Silvia.
Click on the image to watch the video of him loading his baja.
From your ole' mate Jeff

Remember - KISS.......Keep It Simple Steve. 
I'd rather wear a Beetle out by racing it than by polishing it!
