chris r Posted March 16, 2015 Author Share Posted March 16, 2015 mayte, so many snapped necks when people saw what was towing it, only time it complained was going up the bombays. It knocked a bit but still made it up above 50 (just) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Threeonthetree Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 I still think you should convert your trailer to HQ stud pattern, install HQ steel wheels and paint it up lie your Tonner "Chris R's Good Ol' fashioned towing service - good things take time (like towing your car)" 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

punkoutnz Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 House speakers, CB radio, knitted seat covers and a mattress in the boot and it'll be perfect. Looks mint man! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris r Posted March 16, 2015 Author Share Posted March 16, 2015 Cb radio is on the cards and it came with crappy house speakers! Its even got a sheepskin front bench cover. I might have to make a frame for the mattress as there is a lpg tank in the boot 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j.e.d. Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Ah yes, passed you going up the Bombay's on Saturday, but you didn't seem to be struggling too much.

chris r Posted March 18, 2015 Author Share Posted March 18, 2015 It went ok, top speed in the tonner seems to be 80-90 whatever is on/in it I'm pleased at how it went. Neal just find another sedan and I'll bring over my saber saw and arc welder Ah yes, passed you going up the Bombay's on Saturday, but you didn't seem to be struggling too much.

chris r Posted March 29, 2015 Author Share Posted March 29, 2015 Less fucked door is on, and the rusty fucked tailgate is off. The door was bent and is missing all its rubber etc so I'll have to carefully strip the old door. The replacement tailgate is just a skin too so I'll need to figure out how the hinge mounting plates come off the old one. Oh and does anyone know where that spring thing mounts on the body? And the bracket that holds the sping in the tailgate went flying so hopefully I can find it tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
