Re: Vintage Trailer Resto
Well done, it looks very good. After all the discussion about wings I'm warming to the originals after seeing those pics. Very quirky and unique to it. And easy enough to change if you feel like a further makeover!
cheers

Re: Vintage Trailer Resto
Cheers for all the positive replies guys 
Yeah I liked the strangeness of the wings and they look good painted up.
Needs another coat of blue which should bring it up a bit more glossy and then replace the rear lights for some nice vintage ones.
Since it was repaired its been used a lot! Not only the trip to Paris but was working hard last night slogging washing machines around and all sorts (House move for my uncle). Really is a fantastic little trailer. Just got to watch the weight on those soft springs and skinny wire wheels.

An age when roads were empty, machines were simple and every journey was an adventure!!
Re: Vintage Trailer Resto
Yes I agree about the mudguards, they suit the trailer rather well now that it's all repaired and painted. Major result!
