Well done Dave, looks great, now you better build one for yourself....

Interesting plate location, Dave. Typically, ours here in the States, are located under the left brake light that also would illuminate it at night.

it has a lamp directly to its right.

Dave,I hope you've got a good,heavy,hardened security chain to lock it up when you park anywhere

dave500 · « **Reply #111 on:** October 25, 2014, 01:54:23 PM »

I made a tow coupling lock from an old tow ball and run a heavy chain through a wheel over the spring parked at home,thanks mate,trailers are easily stolen.

Hi Dave, have you tried to reverse the trailer into your driveway...? I'm worried about the number plate position, i had one on the telecom trailer i had and ripped it off reversing up a slight ramp into a garage, I moved it to the middle of the tailgate..... Keep your eye on it mate...

dave500 · « **Reply #113 on:** October 25, 2014, 08:56:04 PM »

yeah goes up good.

dave500 · « **Reply #114 on:** October 31, 2014, 07:49:12 PM »

optional extra upgrade,with the front gate removed this just bolts down for bike tie down,has captive threads underneath.

grcamna2 · « **Reply #115 on:** October 31, 2014, 08:17:36 PM »

Very custom Dave

dave500 · « **Reply #116 on:** November 02, 2014, 01:19:40 AM »

a bit more customising.

plus the tailgate badge.

polish didn't photo well once fitted in this angle shot.

Stev-o · « **Reply #117 on:** November 02, 2014, 05:29:42 AM »

Truly custom Mate!

Retro Rocket · « **Reply #120 on:** December 18, 2014, 01:57:58 AM »

Trailer looks good Dave, hows it tow...?

dave500 · « **Reply #121 on:** December 18, 2014, 03:01:24 AM »

its just as fast as the holden!

Stev-o · « **Reply #122 on:** December 18, 2014, 06:03:22 AM »

Looks great! You're scrapping those Ansen wheels?

grcamna2 · « **Reply #123 on:** December 18, 2014, 06:56:06 AM »

That trailer looks good doing it's job now Dave;I don't see that old Cragar copy wheel in the back,it must have worked out for you.Plenty of copper in that wire;is there a charge for the recyclers having to remove the insulation from the wire ?

dave500 · « **Reply #124 on:** December 18, 2014, 12:47:22 PM »

insulated copper wire gets you $2.60 per kilo as is,theres two bmw alloy wheels and two mismatched aunger 13" alloys in weathered condition,you get $1.50 per kilo for them,the chrome cragar copy is destined to become a garden hose holder,i got $290 for that lot,theres brass and clean copper aswell,dont know what rules might be stateside but the law is clamping down hard on insecure uncovered loads on trailers and pickups,because I do it all day anyway I covered it over,gotta make up some fixed short ties on this piece of shade cloth save tying loops over it.
