I'll be fabbing my work/utility trailer to accept my 914.
I'll widen the deck by a foot and make 9 foot loading ramps. The sides all come off and it is a flat bed. The yellow job box will be moved 3 feet foward to allow the car to come all the way foward. I'll add tire stops and tie downs. I picked up the chassis for this trailer 3 years ago for $50. It was orig a boat trailer. (low deck). I put over 5000#'s on it all the time so I know our light wieght friend will be an easy rider. I enjoy welding ( stick and wire ) and fab'n, so this weekend should be fun.

I built my trailer, too. My brother fired up the stick welder and we both got a little sunburn.........
I wanted an enclosed trailer (my car is open) that fits in a garage. So, it's got a 14 ft bed, with a total length a bit over 18 ft, and it fits in the garage. It's hard to find an enclosed trailer that doesn't break the bank. So far, I'm only into the trailer for about $1k, but it's not enclosed yet. The added benefit is that this trailer is much lighter than what I could buy (it's a single axle trialer rated for 3500 lbs) and now I can tow my race car with a Class II hitch even though I used steel to build the trailer. So, I can tow my racecar with a Volvo V70R.... sweet. |
