Trailer trash

A bit of a short break from the Midget yesterday. A friend was given this trailer  which has been very overloaded at some point.

The previous owner had botched it by bolting ‘splints’ either side of the damaged frame.

Scary stuff!

To repair this I cut off the damaged steel and spliced in a length of steel scaffolding pipe.

Quite a satisfying job to blow away the Christmas cobwebs.

Discovery under body protection

This 20 year old Discovery was undersealed from new and it shows. The chassis is yet to be welded. The owner was advised to get it redone at his last MOT. Dirty work but some how satisfying…
