I went out last week to buy another trailer as my old wooden trailer is on it's last leg's.
I found a 6' x 3.5' steel trailer for $180 out the other side of town and organised with the seller to pick it up the next day.
I messaged the seller as i left to get his address and headed off, i was over half way there when he messaged me back saying he was going out to lunch and pick up would have to be the next day, so i turned around and headed back home.
Next morning i messaged him again and got a reply with his address, so i drove out to pick it up.
I arrived an hour later and checked it out, it wasnt too rough, had a bit of rust in the front, no rego, and needed a clean up and respray.
Decided to buy it and gave him the money, he went searching his house for the rego paper's.
20 mins went by and he came out, he couldn't find them, so he went through his cars' gloveboxe's and shed but still no paper's.
he offered me my money back, and said i can have the trailer if i sorted out the paperwork.
So i headed down to Motor Reg with the rego number and his name, filled in a form and handed it to the cashier.
She transferred it into my name, and i registered it for 3 month's, it cost me $44 all up for this new trailer.
Today i started cleaning it up, i cut the rust out the floor, and from the bottom edge's of the side's and front
I've made up a new floor section from some scrap checkerplate i had laying around, and made a new front chassis rail for it.
This is how it look's at the moment after about 6 hour's of work, i think i've used about 20x 1mm cutting disc's so far, lucky they're cheap, and 1 can of etch primer.
