Trying to lay out the roof panels by laying out panels and measuring and measuring again ...and again,cross my fingers its right.

Things are really starting to look good

I've been busy in the shop building cabinetry

Its starting to look like a trailer again

I got a lucky break ...sunshine! living here in washington state in the winter time,you have to sieze these opportunities.

Finished wall frames and panels

In the next step I will mount the walls onto the trailer frame.

side walls

I wish I had a very large table right about now

New flooring!

Floor and underbelly frame

And finally a finished floor.... well almost

Finished frame

I finished painting the frame today as well as packing the bearings and greasing the suspension. I feel good about my work so far . Now I can start building the floor.

Treating the rust

There was not enough support between these two crossbars so I added an aditional cross piece on both sides. I then ground down all the rust and coated everything with rust mort to kill the rust.When it does its job the rust turns black (dead).

Day #2 was spent removing the floor and pressure washing the frame.

End of the first day

Carefully removing parts without getting hurt

I bought this trailer for $300. It needed a complete restoration from the ground up. Most of it was original and intact. There was so much dry rot its a miracle it survived the tow home.
