Building a Trailer from a Brumby

longer draw bar trailer will track better and be easier to reverse.
It will have a flexiglass fiberglass canopy on it in a few weeks.
Just fitted the fuel cap cover and put some black edging along the front to the roof

Can you get personalized Plates on trailers? I ask because there is a weird thing with ACT where different vehicle types can actually have the same plate. A friend has the same plate on his bike and ute.

Long story short, would be cool if you could have the same plate on it and he car.

PS, looks awesome!

Damn it looks good. Way better than when it was a shell sitting on blocks in my yard. Well done

I had been wondering where you had got to.

Thanks I am REALY stoked at how it is coming along.

Still around, started working 2 extra weekend jobs to save some coin to go os in July but dropped a gearbox on my hand a fortnight ago and cut the nerves and tendons in my fingers so work on my ute has slowed dramatically. My laptop died too, I'm on a roll ha ha.
Hopefully I will get liberty front hubs with new bearings back tomorrow so hopefully this weekend it will have 5 studs all round.
Not going to get the whole shell blasted now, just patch the rust spots and repaint in valspar LIC40 satin black. I need to track down someone with a guard roller too to fit some of the wrx rims floating around here too.
I should really start a separate thread one day
