Just got my trailer today. It is a $150 old boat trailer. Job #1 today was to get the thing plated and dragged home. Not having a hitch on my car, my son's Camry was pressed into service to bring the base of our project home.
Here it is after making it to my driveway with no working lights and a busted leaf spring blade.
All charged up and ready to take on this new challenge!
Brought back to Earth real fast and reminded to get cracking on stripping this thing.
We got busy and got the rotting timber off pretty fast.
Here's the suspension on the left side with jerry rigged fixed suspension.
Here it is without the high tech repair hardware, pretty scary!
The trailer as it sits now. Next step is removing the suspension and axle, then go for paint.
Stay tuned.
