Wow! We could just about tow that one with our Austin A30. Or the ride on mower, it has a slightly bigger motor than the A30 after all. :lol:

Looks like you're coming along nicely. Are you already thinking about building another?

Ive got a donor trailer and a bunch of leftovers.
Ill just build a realy basic one following the generic plans to the letter.
I over complicated this big time for a first build particuly making it wider plus longer not to mention higher means im building the whole thing on the fly.
Alot more expensive too but shez a keeper.

There's usually a 'shoulda-woulda-coulda' with any build; but, if you do your best with the first one, chances are you'll be happy enough not to need another. :thinking: I guess the important part is to get at least 85% of what you want.

Thanks sharon apreciate the encouragement and dont get me wrong im enjoying the build and the finished product will be more roomy and comfortable with quality componants its just cost alot more money and time due to this.
Cant wait until its finished!
For the record i was probably going to sell 2.0 i just wanted to see how cheaply,easily and quickly i could knock one out.
Would mean making my own doors due to the cost of them here.

had a busy morning and afternoon after work.
got a roof sheet on in the morning and sanded the joint to the last sheet, flush trimmed and used tb2 and some waterproofing bandage to reinforce the join then roped the mrs into putting the first sheet of pmf on, went well, wasnt to stressfull at all.
glad i had a hand though, helps with those wrinkles!
i ironed it first too!
