Glad you painted the car as well Sid, needs some period decals and maybe some varigated gold leaf sign writing though ! see Keith Crampton ex Gold Digger car, expensive but well worth it I reckon
were almost there Phil, got a couple of things in mind to add to the car and trailer but still not decided/saved enough dough to have anything done.. :)
i know what i want but budget may just may get in the way??.. :D .

had a look round soul town shaker at the nostalgia's and i was well impressed... very tidy car.

anyway back to topic, i gave the canvas covered trailer to a pal of mine to use for storage in his yard.
regreted it when i was looking for axles for another trailer!
think ive got a pic of it, ill see if ian can post it.

sad to hear about the stones thames van,but i still believe that there is some left.... :cry:

love the moon trailer, got a pic in my pc of the long slingshot trailer which is very nice!

Courtesy of Sid, here's a pic of that old 'Paint your Wagon' trailer!
I'm liking this a lot, I think we need to go drag it out of the yard and give it a second chance.
