Andrew remember when you asked me if the door held its shape when I cut it out?

Note the two cables are under tension.
I did finish sanding the body, no it is not perfect, but close enough for this trip.

I worked more on the floor.

Fiberglass would be an ideal material to make a permanent fix of this - pull the wires a bit tighter than normal to allow for a little spring-back and then laminate over a couple of ribs to fix the shape.

Fit a front plate between the two ribs and there's the magazine rack you always intended to fit to the trailer.....

Looking gret Del. It is really coming along nice.
My Idea of plans are a tape measure, a saw and a dream.

Magazine rack :thinking: :thinking: . I hoping this fix will last till spring. Then insulate and cover the void completely.

Thanks del

Today I woke up all excited because I was ready to put primer on the body, not to be, ####### wind. So i went out and worked on my subaru. It now has a new fuel filter, and is wired (mostly) for electric brakes, and charging. About 4:30 the wind died down, so after dinner I worked on the floor, for as long as I could stand the cold. Like my concrete gravity clamp?

Although I did not accomplish what I wanted to, I did work that was required for my trip.

The build was alot more than I bargained for, if nobody was watching, I would have thrown in the towel long ago. So thanks for watching, and keeping me on the path I started.
