I must admit they are well built and have a galvanised chassis
Russ - jerrys are in the garage |

Had an afternoon on the trailer ... started to strip it down ... chequer plate removed, electrics removed, top rack removed, jerry can holders removed. Then inspected underneath - happy to report all good.
Next week - a trip to the powder coaters then weather permitting start to rub down the bodywork ready for respray... photos to follow |

Ken -I saw your merlin build, you are the inspiration that convinced me to take on the project
Mine has some subtle differences though, I have 2 struts on the main lid, they work just like the RRC bonnets, push up/down to lower and the front box is mounted on a raised box section on the chassis. I'm hoping to have it completed by mid April I'm liking this scheme for decals at the moment Click image to enlarge Admin note: this post has had its images recovered from a money grabbing photo hosting site and reinstated |
