Turning a old 1980s sprite musketeer into a TD

[justdan]

Ok so iv a old caravan sat at the back if my house falling to bits , iv started stripping her ! Iv managed to salvage the cooker and water system ...
Still a lot if work to be done stripping her as time is a commodity for me :-/
I'll pop some pics up when I get home
The intention is to shorten the chassis 3-4ft , move the wheel base a little and add a finicky wee suspension unit ( just for the hell of it )
Before building the main body

Okay. You have our attention. Sounds very interesting. Remember...

[rebapuck]

Any particular style you are aiming for?

[justdan]

I'm not convinced I'll be going for the classic TD shape maybe the shrunken caravan style. ? Lol I do a lot of mountain biking with my son so it's going to be geared towards that
Maybe a off road 4x4 theme me thinks :-)

So haven't done anything during the past few months due to new business venture and my day job but iv managed to secure a good size garage ( I take the keys end of feb ) so I'll have a dry secure place to build this thing :-)
