ever wondered where the 172 cup gazmar had went to

[Mickb]

the car was broke for spares. the shell n axle were damaged. i wanted a quick project with fabrication, so i could learn from my friend about different welding techniques and needed a trailer. and this does all of what i require. new it hadnt be done to my knowledge, so thought id try it.

its for carrying camping stuff and track wheels. will work just like a normal car. open the boot or doors

 

[chriscummins7]

You don't do things by half do you mick!? Good work

 

[Mickb]

how do you mean chris

 

[Mat23]

Im not trying to steer the spotlight away from your project.. but Im liking the clio van!! haha

 

[chriscummins7]

As in, if you do something... you f**king do it properly.

 

[Mickb]

the van has its own thread mat lol.

ahahahaha aye chris, apparently according to my dad ive over engineered it, as if they wont see why till its completed and on a road test

 

[Silent_Scone]

You're off your tits if you ask me lol

nice job on the floor though!

 

[Stu.]

So awesome! how you finishing off the front? just sheet metal/box it in kinda thing?

 

[Mickb]

going to be rolling the metal some how shaping it to how i want it. trying to keep all the lines i can .need a bonnet lol.

front tub will be made from the small box section like i added for the floor bracing and 1.6mm steel. reason for not using .8mm is i want it strong. no flex

 

[marcushookdale]

looks really cool, some might say it looks like you need stiffer rear springs.
