I'll be fabbing my work/utility trailer to accept my 914.
I'll widen the deck by a foot and make 9 foot loading ramps. The sides all come off and it is a flat bed. The yellow job box will be moved 3 feet foward to allow the car to come all the way foward. I'll add tire stops and tie downs. I picked up the chassis for this trailer 3 years ago for $50. It was orig a boat trailer. (low deck). I put over 5000#'s on it all the time so I know our light wieght friend will be an easy rider. I enjoy welding ( stick and wire ) and fab'n, so this weekend should be fun.

I'm resuming the trailer mod, now that I have a little free time.
I won't be using the tiny nylon straps like in the above pic. Although they held up fine to Reno and back last year. Someone gave me a pair of metal ramps, so I'm on my way. I'm going to cut off all the current decking and start fresh. No removable ramps to bolt on and off. I'll end up with a strong car hauler and a larger capacity utility trailer.
