Hi all,

Bit of a strange one this really for me, i usually frequent car forums
i drive a vauxhall vx220 but i doubt that will mean much to you guys

any how im Taylor, im 22 from manchester, UK and a girl
Im looking into building my own teardrop to tow behing my partners mk1 golf (sure you know what that is hehe)

im pretty handy when it comes to building stuff so fingers crossed it wont be too much of a disaster.

no doubt ill be asking many questions

Taylor,

A big "Hello", from across the pond.

Welcome to T&TTT.

You'll receive plenty of information here. This place is filled with lots of great folks and ideas also.

Have fun with your TD build and keep us informed.


Later,

Welcome, Taylor. In the general discussion topic you can find a building manual by Steve Fredricks. he has a great way to build hatch lids. For $50.00US it's a good way to start to review the build. I know there are some free plans on the forum, I haven't really checked them out I like Steve's site and his build method. His CD and he has a support forum you can go to also. Just a thought. Walt

Very cool car!!! A sleek teardrop will look awesome behind that fer sure.

Welcome to the forum, there is allways lots of good help and ideas here.

This is mine

however this wont be the one towing the trailer, no no , its made out of fiberglass and the engine is at the back, there would be no way ever to attach a towing hitch, and even if somehow you managed it.. death would follow shortly ahha

Hi Taylor,
Nice motor

Welcome to the forum,
As Paul said, We have an ever growing number of Brit builders on the forum.

Theres loads of inspiring builds in the Hall of fame at the top of the page, and you could check out the design library for a few plans too

Cheers .........Dave
