I was looking through Craigs list and found this little diamond in the rough.

I'm hoping that after I use it to haul off all the junk from the back yard, I can make a TTT out of it. Sort of a Puffinesk kind of deal. Someone please tell me i'm not off my rocker. :worship:

If you don't scoop it up it may be gone shortly. Cheaper than building a box trailer. Now if it only had a tailgate :thinking: :D Danny

As soon as I use it to haul off some stuff to the dump, I'll start into the TTT project. Ian, let me know how your efforts go cause I might want to learn tips and shortcuts from you. ;)
I'll keep a picture log of course.

Hey Nightcap

Glad to see someone else as mad as me, my first one's also about 95% finished and I'm already making plans for numbers 2 & 3.

Do you think they should start a 12 step program for Teardroppers :thinking:

I'd be glad to pass on any useful info, but I'm a greenhorn myself.

Good luck

Oh yeah, Some sort of intervention would be handy. :lol: I looked at some pictures of your build and find that you do good work. Of course our interiors are similar.
