    There was this anglebox at BH, had an MX5 engine, I wondered if it was body swapped on an MX5 floorpan

    Was thinking along similar lines the other day when I was following one of those nz post buggy things, would be ideal for the same sorts of trips you would use a moped for 

    No "nuts to butts" would put the foamers off though

    Looks nice, there is a lot less bending moment with a tandem axle, as the point loading between spring hangers for weight distribution is far more spread.

    Yea I went a bit overboard. Probably could have got away with one axle and no brakes. Also took the drawbar steel right back to the centre pivot of the tandem springs. Tows real nice.

    Engineer mate suggested doing the bulk of the welding from side to side with minimal welds running front to back, which allows the trailer to flex just a lil bit.

    Seems to be working so far.

    There's already 2 bazillion VLs with 18-20" Simmons and LS/rb30 

    There doesn't need to be any more 

    It has a very unique sound too.

    I'm not a big rotor fan but I think this one is pretty cool.
