Compared to most projects on here this is small beer... but it's good to make a start on something.
I've got a small camping trailer (Erde from Halfords) that is used for taking stuff to the dump etc. It lives outside and is about 15 years old so it's got a bit tatty, so a tidy up is required. As well as a tidy up and a few "mods" to make it more useful are in order, with the idea that it could be used as a secure "tender" for track days;
As it is now;

A bit battered and bent, with rust starting although it's galvanized.
Initial work on tailgate, zinc primer for back panel, yellow is for lettering.

It lifted the yellow paint and primer, if it had been even I would have clear coated the bare metal and said it was intended! Will use a sticker!

I did think about building a mini teardrop, maybe next time.
More to come.

As well as a tidy up and a few "mods" to make it more useful are in order, with the idea that it could be used as a secure "tender" for track days;
- secure, removable, top
- better lashing points
- re-wire electrics
- fit jockey wheel
- make it look better :-)
