nice welds!!!!

[DubSteve]

Excellent work boy!

[Preen59]

Thanks guys.

The welds aren't the best, but they're alright and the trailer certainly won't fall apart! Hahaha.

[Preen59]

Got the trailer to the Red Oxide stage. Unfortunately, today i will be doing some more welding but its all good. Should be finished by the weekend.

Nice work on the trailer Preeny. I didn't read the rest of the thread but is it gonna be fully covered?

When and where's the Castlereigh 25th Anniversary reunion? Randoms allowed?

Thanks Dude. And yes, the trailer will eventually be fully enclosed. We have built everything around being able to basically extend the front enclosure back, reclad it and refit the rear door. That's why the frame for the lights is quite basic.. Its not staying like that..

Unfortunately you had to buy a ticket by lunch time today ($20 bucks).. But Dad's going to get onto his mates and see if anyone has a spare ticket if you're seriously interested.

It's at Chipping Norton.. Where ever the f*ck that is! haha.

More done today...

Uncle Max finished off the tail lights frame..





I got the eyelet brackets fitted for the rear tyre tie downs..






The aluminium checker plate turned up today. We've marked it out and it will be cut tomorrow ready to fit to the floor. We should be ready for the weekend.

Haha well done. You should be able to knock that over no worries. What overdrive and Nitro % are you going to run?

There's a stealth three speed tranny in the rear wheelbarrow wheel, and she'll be running 100% organic wheatbix.
