I just bought a 20x8 foot enclosed trailer. I have been through probably 5 different trailers. All of which my 914-8 wanted to bottom out & scrape loading. I was finally going to just give & buy a tilt trailer. I came across this on Craigslist today & went to look at it. Guy had it listed for $2250 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) . It is solid & has brakes on one axle. It needs a little TLC but not much at all. I asked if he had a title & he pulled it out. It was his uncles who passed away. I was immediately wary. He then pulls out all the paperwork the DMV will need for it. They have already sold 2 of his trailers & 2 cars. Haven't had a problem with the DMV yet. I'm ready to pay the guy as the trailer is easily worth the price & then some. I figured I may as well ask if he if firm on his price. He said well how about $2100 & before I could say okay. He says screw it $2000 & it's yours (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) . I jumped then & happily (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) Had to borrow some cash to do it but to good a deal to pass up. Good thing I didn't buy that LS1 now.
Extra bonus is now I have an extra garage for winter (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) Attached image(s)

Damn I tell you what. It has been so damn cold the last week. No way I am going ot work out in my barn. Even with a nice 3 burner propane heater I freeze unless it is on my back. It also will not heat up my barn. It is just to big & open. So I am oging to use my new trailer/shop (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) .
I'm going to pull my LE into my trailer. I'll be able to heat that area so much better. I'll be much more apt to go out to work in something I don't have to bundle up in. Already my trailer is coming in handy. Plus I have some paint touch up I've got to do. Be much better in the trailer than in my barn. Actually I have to repaint both my trunks. Damn rust bubbles (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) . Oh well at least it is the trunks & I can make those look good. Nothing like having newer paint with rust issues (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) . I'll make it work though. Damn close to having the Creamsicle finished finally. I can't wait to say goodbye to that beautiful 914 (that has been my curse of a restoration the last 3 years (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif) ) |
