Over the last month I've been restoring the oldies trailer. It's about 10 years old, well made with a checkplate floor, so it was decided to give it a new lease of life. Basically a pile of hay was left in the bottom and the paint turned really rusty.

 

I've finished the chassis restore now, about 4 hours grinding and cleaning, really happy with it though after 3 coats of matt black kill rust. The rest of the trailer is just about prepped too, over a days work, just need to clean it up really good and pour rust converter over the base before giving is 3 coats of kill rust blue.

 

Chassis restored!

About 3 days work, $60 of tig consumables and alot of 4 letter words :P Turned out really good though and lets you put a tarp on the roof for the crappy QLD weather! Nice and light so mum can even put it together.
