So i can't seem to get rid of my '74 tub. I don't have the room/time to do the full job I wanted to on the tub, so I put it up for sale. No one seems interested, and its in the kind of shape that I don't really want to cut it up and throw it away.

So I need some ideas on what to do with it. Currently, my favorite idea is to turn it into a trailer, which would be nice for WCC type events. Basically cut it in half and use the firewall on back. With no engine or transmission, I can expand the trunk to fill in all those areas. That makes for one really large space to put stuff. If I could fit a set of wheels for autocross/track events that would be perfect.

If anyone else has a second tub and the space to do it, a 914 limo might be a fun project...

So any other ideas?

If Roadways concers are that it's not crated, why not crate it? couple reg pallets with 2 X4's nailed to them to space them apart the right length. Build out the sides of the pallets to the right width. then encase it with more 2 X4's and chipboard for the sides & top. You would need a forklift to load it and unload but it could go on a flatdeck trailer if crated. I'd extimate $200 for the wood & screws...
