Got home before 5, so an hour of light and managed to render the trailer worthless :lol:
The steel angle frame could do with being blasted, but i dont have time for that so will get the grinder on it tomorrow then some Hammerite Cream..........picking the wood up tomorrow and some stainless coach bolts....

That is a job I've been putting off for ages. I'm kinda glad looking at your garage though. Lol
Can't wait to see the finished product.

Today I have mainly been fooked :lol: But I did a shift for the greater cause and finished the trailer Well I say finished but some twat rivited the lid from the top when It should have been from the bottom, so i will be rectifying that this week :msn4:
Some proof pics
If I had more time I would have had the frame powder coated, but hey not bad for the time I did it in.
Next up was to collect the bus.............colour match is better that I could have hoped 8)
Just the door was painted
Then the roof, and the gutters were blasted
I shit out on refitting the doors, and got Spence to do the work to save me time, he said the shiny scappers I picked up from C7C at Dub Freeze were shite and a bitch to fit :lol: glad I didnt do it after all, they look fine to me fitted, thats the main thing!
So now I need to get some door trims and make some speaker pods, as the doors have different bracing on the inside its now impossible to have door mounted speakers in the same place :? But ast least the doors will outlast me 8)
