Do they do it in white Norm

With Newby fast approaching i thought I'd better start getting my stuff together, the first being the Trachorse as its been in the drive since last year. had a few things to do, here's the list. exhaust fell off, slew levers seized up, throttle butterfly and choke seized up. fuel tank had a load of crap in it and the fuel pipes perished and leaking. got most of it sorted today just need some fuel pipe and some radiator paint for the exhaust

Top marks Ewan, a job well done.

If anyone's interested i could take them to Newby

2 56 lbs weights

That looks really nice, the decals set it off a treat.

Thanks for the info, i can angle them back further just by drilling 2 more holes

I did think about that Norm we're see if they work ok first. they are quite heavy as they are but can always add weight boxes at a later date

Done a bit more today and made them to angle backwards.

My bigger wheelhorse set angle the same way

Was wondering if it matters which way they angle, should i pull the centre forward or backward to get the angle ?

Didn't have much time today but done a little more, here's an update

Thanks Norm.

My cleaner arrived today not as big as i was expecting, its just right. its got a drain tap on the side which is handy, I've put my cup in the basket so you can see the size of it. glad I didn't order a smaller one will update you once I've had time to use it

Any interest on these before I advertise them elsewhere ?

This is now sold

I'm going to have to make another visit Alan to see what other metal i can find.

That's nice Ewan, should make it bigger to scoop dad up from the beer tent.

I've just got to make some brackets now so we can angle them out

Brilliant idea tell us more. We all have trouble lifting implements

Last year vegikev gave me 5 disc's on an old frame and 5 spare ones they've been kicking around in my driveway so today I thought ide do something with and decided to make a usable set for my mate Paul. i have a load of steel box section of different sizes so i set to work with the electric saw and the stick welder. heres a few photos of today's effort, still a bit more to do but I'm really pleased with it so far

Thanks for your input sten, ive been looking at them for a while and not used one yet. I didn't want to get a smaller one and find I cant get my carbs ect in it, although its 6 litres I think it holds about 5. its a learning curve for me so will update when it arrives and ive tried it out

I think it would bottom out on the ramps

Blimey is that as long as it looks. its a nice looking trailer and giving me ideas, think i need a longer van

Good photos Paul, a few interesting bits i like the escort van.
