Working on one side of the trailer at the moment.wheel has been blasted and painted,still unsure what I'm doing with the tyres.Brakes all look good and work fine so only need a bit of lube and there good enough.Brake drum and hub painted.

I cleaned off all the old cracked underseal,chassis is in great condition, I will be spraying it with some Raptor black body liner paint when the tub comes off,that will be a winter project I think.

Hiya Bob,this trailer will never be as good as yours mate 8-)
Total spend on mine will be less than £100,bet yours was 10 times that!
Mine will be left out in the elements,filled with rubbish and abused so it's not worth the money or effort.
Also my other Sankey is better than yours! :lol:
