Good job you hung on to the front end, wasn't it?

Definitely. Though now it's imobile so it'll be getting chopped up shortly.

It's been stored across town since being chopped up.

I've done a bit more welding in the last few days and fitted the hitch on for a test run to gauge the ride height etc.

Plus if I'm honest just to see how it will really look.

Here's a few pics. It's obvious the some adjustment is needed, the drawbar needs to be shortened yet. Going to wait till the front's on first though.

Here's a couple of short vids as well. It's a bit too far zoomed in at the start so a little skippy. Gives a good idea of it though.

Is the tow car a Renault, by any chance?

Could be.

Just for a laugh, the rear one is actually a truck windscreen sticker I bought as a generic size. Would you believe it fits perfectly between the rear lights.

Bought the front to match. And they're only yellow to match the reflective tape on the sides. I know it looks mad but I quite like it now. Probably why I bothered to fix it than just scrap it.

Wait and see what I have planned for the trailer.

I could do with learning to be normal for a bit though.

Normal is boring! Continue being "alternative" Chris!

I do love these bonkers trailers made from half a car, especially when painted to match the towcar.
I came across this little beastie a few years ago at a show which just blew me away.

Not a new idea by any stretch.

I already have the Rover one as well. Mike joked about making a Jeep one now I have a Jeep. Maybe next year.
