Home Build Car Transporter: May 2010
http://locostcartrailer.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Home Build Car Transporter. Saturday, May 29, 2010. Ok where to start. I have bought an old single axle caravan chassis from ebay for the princely sum of 61 pounds. The walls, roof and interior had been stripped off, leaving just the chassis and flooring. I collected it from a chap in Wiltshire and towed it the 90 miles home to Pontypridd, South Wales. It towed very nicely, wasn't too heavy and most of all, it held together. I'll take some pictures soon and post them up! Thursday, May 27, 2010. I'll add ...

Home Build Car Transporter: July 2010
http://locostcartrailer.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Home Build Car Transporter. Thursday, July 29, 2010. I have so far this week finally got hold of the steel plate i need to make the wheel arches/mudguards. I was lucky enough to be able to get them pre-cut to size, So i only had to put them through a metal folder to form them into shape. Last night i welded them up, now they need fitting to the decks, trimming to fit properly and welding down. My to do list grows ever smaller, here's how I see it at the moment:. 1 Trim, fit and weld the wheelarches.

Home Build Car Transporter. Saturday, August 7, 2010. Ok so far off that last list I have trimmed and welded on one of the mudguards, then I ran out of welding wire. I'll pick up some more today and hopefully get it finished over the weekend. The other achievement I have done this week is secured the use of another car transporter trailer to carry all the steel pieces down to the galvanisers in Cardiff. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Home Build Car Transporter. Wednesday, June 30, 2010. I have recently welded on all the equal angle on the first deck section. This just needs the mudguard fabricating and welding on and it's done.

Thursday, June 10, 2010. I cleared up the garage today after having a minor fire whilst welding stuff yesterday. I laid out 2 of th...

Home Build Car Transporter. Friday, August 20, 2010. Ok it's now Friday. I called the galvanisers last night to check that the order would be complete and ready for collection this morning. A manager came on the phone and assured me that this was so. So while i was there, I assembled the chassis parts (crossmembers) onto the chassis, added the light board, and towed it home. Again, maybe tomorrow? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Locost track day car build blog. Hooray its finally done!

http://locostcartrailer.blogspot.com/2010/08/steelwork-not-ready-today.html
Home Build Car Transporter. Tuesday, August 17, 2010. Steelwork not ready today. Had a call from the galvanisers to say they has found some tar-like substance on the bottom of one of the decks. I wasn't aware that it was there. They tell me they will have to shot blast it off, which is going to cost more money. Not happy with them right now, but I'm sure I'll feel much better about it when it's all done and i can go pick it up. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Locost track day car build blog.

Home Build Car Transporter. Monday, August 16, 2010. Ok loads of progress since last week. I've made the ladder frames, completed both decks, and this morning taken everything to the galvanisers down in Cardiff. I even had time to have a major clear out of the garage. It's all going to be galvanised today so hopefully I'll pick it up tomorrow or the day after, reassemble the trailer on site and tow it home. I'll take loads of pictures and post them up.
