Trailer Time 

I've been wanting to build my own car trailer for Project Alan Mann for quite some time.
With my old work closing down I managed to cut a whole lot of scrap mild steel out of the brewery to recycle into a trailer.

My racecar is full of race holes so the trailer must match :badgrin:
A long day on the holesaw ahead ! :doubt:
