So after phill had worked him magic with the lights


It was time to protect the sides of the trailer so I was going to line the inside with stuff


And this is what I decided on


It's shinny black plastic sheets around 6mm thick and very very light in weight




Image










Image





I got 10mm rubber Matt to make the flooring in the trailer ( stop stuff sliding around when getting towed.

When one of ya best mates if a pro at flooring ...... You ask him to do if for you !


Cheers Moody it looks the bee's knee's



What took Brian a few min's to do would have taken me all evening and would not of looked half as good as it does now : :cheers: :cheers: :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:








Image







I'd also like to thank Scott for donating some awesome looking reflectors .... They look the part and again I'm over whelmed by people's kindness :oops:
Thanks Scott










Image








Image







So then it was time to fit the cover eeeeeeeeeeekkkkk



Now I can't take any credit for this cover as it came with the trailer when I purchased it off Billy










Image



One thing I can say is I'm leaving it on there for a while to allow it to stretch .... There are x3 more holing clips that I steel need rut but the cover need to stretch first .




.......


I did a little wedding fair the other day too ..... I'm enjoying the weddings as its fun and I get to cruz in my bus ...and put smiles on people's faces :cheers: :cheers:

Over. And out

Hi All



well tomorrow their's is a future bride come around to see if she wants Gerry for her special day .... I guess to check out if his good enough :?


so if the weathers nice tomorrow I guess it would be rude not to go for a cruze after the couple have been around


who knows ..... I may even get a photo ..... may even hook up the Trailer and give him a test run too



OOOOOO so much to choose from .... so much to do

Have you considered renting the trailer out for the Bridesmaids?
It would make a great photo [emoji2]
