Now were getting down to it, the walls are off, and work has started on the floor replacement.
I decided to do the job a section at a time, to help keep everything in alinement .
I also started wire brushing the frame, getting it ready for paint, this will also be done a section at a time.
I'm having a local welder make up the wheel tubs, they should be ready by Friday.

What a project!

I'm curious to know what you are doing to prevent and seal for future leakage? I'd guess you have done a lot of thinking about this.

The Wee Zim is finally finished, it should be picked up by next week, and when that happens I'll take the final pics and post them.
I should also have a slide show video in the near future. :thinking:

Now it's on to the next project, 1964 Serro Scotty, then after that, the trailer I'm really looking forward to working on, a 1962 Trailorboat. :thumbsup:

I had to make a instructional video for the owner of the Wee Zim, since he'll be having someone else pick the trailer up and not himself.
I'll post more pics when I get them.

I finally finished the Wee Zim project. :thumbsup:
Man o man what a job, for those that wanted measurements of this trailer, I failed, there was already too much work to be done, sorry.
I hope you enjoy the video.
