Popular Post 64valiant Posted February 15, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 15, 2019 It's the little things like this that make the difference to this food trailer. Not just a traditional caravan shape but style as well. I payed a visit to Boss Powdercoating and dropped my rims off to get cleaned up. Once they were done i headed to The Bling Company and had my white wall tyres fitted. The before and after is unbelievably good. Before after shot ow @Geophy 17 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sleeektoy Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 No to put a downer on the plate idea - but It will have to go on the tow vehicle, not on the caravan. Max of 5 characters on a caravan personalised plate 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can still put it on the vehicle I tow the trailer with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwibirdman Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Nice work. If you are going to put legs on it I would do it before the floor goes in. Makes it easy to weld. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post 64valiant Posted June 27, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted June 27, 2019 so a small update. yeah the kombi has had all my attention over recent times but i also got the dream plate that was listed here for sale. for scale this thing is huge. but pre bay windows are also quite small vws also added the bottom of the caravan also added some strength across the roof, so now have three bars from side to side. it had been a while since picking up the welder and i had to put this up against the bench so i could stand on it, on top of a box As of yesterday i got some motivation and done some more work. Cut the side door in and then i added some braces to the caravan. old mate @Geophy came over to drop some steel over and i was like hey hold this. so i welded the base of the up rights for the door, then cut the center. needed the strop in the center so i could get the grinder in. another strop here in this welding action shot. this time holding the peace of steel up. This thing looks like a caravan now. pretty happy to see a door cut out in the side. i now need some right angle for the floor and need to put some triangle braces in some corners and im pretty keen to get some paint on it this month. getting pretty annoying in the shop. 19 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post 64valiant Posted April 5, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted April 5, 2020 man she has been some time since the last post..... I think old mate @Geophy ended up getting some steel and i asked him to get me some right angle in the end. Welded that on and then it really started to get in the way at the shop. Invited old mate Geophy over again and got him on the grinder he went over allllllll my welds and made them flat for me. Making it easier to stick the cladding on when i am ready/have the money. the main reason was so i could get it painted and get it out of the work shop. we had been planning on moving the shop and it was not going to be able to fit in the new shop. I had re upholstered a chair for a mate and he owed me a favor so i hit him up seeing if he could paint the caravan before i had to leave it sitting out side. boom! Not the best of paint jobs but we have paint so its now sitting at my mums place out in the weather as we move places and sort our own lives out again. I would really like to get back into it and get it covered in for at lest winter. so i think thats the next goal. By cladding and material for the floor. 13 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
