I have waited a long time to be able to do this. I had wanted to make a 914 trailer for years. Then I was able to buy this one allready finished. It was towed behind a white flared v8 for years. I bought it & didn't have my flares installed yet. I got my flares installed finally. Then I needed to install the receiver in the trunk. I was sitting here today & read Gint's thread about driving his car today. A light bulb went on I needed to do that too.
As I was walking out to start my 914 I walked by my 914 trailer. I realized I actually had everything to hook it up. With the minor exception of wiring the lights. I hooked it up & took it for a short couple mile drive. Just to see if it towed okay. That & take pictures of it all together (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) Attached image(s)

Looks good Jamie
Keep in mind the guy that built that trailer had the bolt pattern sized for Chevy bolt pattern (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) I think he wanted a cheaper alternative. You might want to change the hubs, simple fix (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) |

Maybe just the hub or just putting an axle on it with the right bolt pattern. One of the things that is up in the air (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |
