Ok all done ? Tea in hand ?

Biscuit's in hand Bren ?


So let's begin



First we loaded the trailer and took it to the Bodyshop on the friend afternoon





Image






My original painter / friend Bruce has moved on about a year ago, is this time the paint work was going to be done by another mate Anthony and a very gifted painter too and he did me proud again



So first it was wet on wet primered just to seal everything in






Image







Then it was PAINT O'CLOCK :: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:







Image








Image








So I got out of the paint booth and let Anthony work him magic and after some time he came out and the oven was switched to bake .......so we chatted for around 45mins while the paint was drying the oven gets to a very high temp and forces the paint to dry hard and fast .


Now this all gets a little stressful now ....... So we was chatting away and we heard a massing load bang from inside the spray booth .... We both rushed over to the window and the drums that the trailer was sitting on had twisted I the head and throw the trailer onto the floor ( scroll up and see the drums under the trailer )


So we could not do anything other than hope there was not to much damage :?



So it had dropped about a foot or so in high ...... It had slid sideways off the brums




Well some one was watching down on us that day as there was NO damage 8O 8O


Thanks Dad :wink:



So ya want to see it ?





















Do you ?


















Ok then let the porn begin ........ Note the trailer now on the floor 8O :?










OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO












Image













AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR













Image

















Image








So happy :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:


And flat too that's a bit of luck ..... Chuffed :cheers: :cheers:











Straight home ... Popped onto his end and stone chipped













Image













Image








So then out we went for the afternoon ..... Apple I store for new PC and printed ( ouch )




Then back home ..... Claire said ....... We going out for Dinner around her mums house later



And then she said a magic few words ...... You got 2 hrs of cave time if you want it

BOOOOM I LOVE MY CLAIRE :compress:




SO out I went and fitted some bits to the trailer











Image










Suspension on

Wheel on











Image










Arches on











Image








Note the red insert ..... You all know me and its all about the detailing.















Image











Original badges and chassis plates all fitted and new no plate

















Image










And then he was popped back into his home











Image








And just because I love this photo here it is again .....one of the Flattest westy around lol :lol:














Image





Hope you all enjoyed that




Now Phil get ya ass around here and sore me wiring out :lol: :D





Over and out

Absolutely stunning Mr P.

Never thought I would 'gush' over a Trailer! Amazes me how you manage to make it all look so easy. Truly inspirational.

Now.....where did I put that 'Car Bodywork for beginners' application form?
