My newest 914 74 2.0 & the trailer I bought to bring it home, Damn thing had my name all over it Options

Okay so I actually bought all this last night. I was on Craigslist & found this cheap car trailer. Only $250 so I figured I would go check it out. I go out & it looks pretty solid. I do a quick shake of the wheels & they feel solid. Overall well worth the $250 I thought. So I pay the guy (who threw in an engine stand) & hook it up to go get my 914. Pulls nice although one wheels has a little wobble to it. Very minor & didn't get worse on the way. The tires did run pretty close to the trailer but didn't think much of it.

Allright so I get to my 914 & we push it up on it. I strap it down & things look good. I say goodbye & pull out. I get to the end of the street & pull a uturn. I look in my rear view to check it tracking. What do I see but lug nuts falling off the trailer (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) . I stop & there are 2 left holding the wheel which is of course leaning. I get my lug wrench out & try to put the other lugs back on. I do not have much luck & when I do get them on & bolted. The tire rubs on the inside (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) . Well it's getting late so I limp it back in front of the guys house. I tell him the problem & say I'll be back the next day with the right trailer wheels.

So I load up the 2 spares I had for a previous trailer. I go back after work & jack up one side. I get the wheel off & about $hit my pants. Under the wheels were lug nuts I guess this idiot decided to use as spacers. Even worse is there were only 3 of the 5 used (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Holy crapola what a mess. Luckily the studs had enough life left to hold the new wheel I brought on. So of course the other side was the same crap. Good news is I made it home okay (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)

I'm going to get a new axle for the trailer as it actually is decent. It's just a straight axle. I will get something with a little suspension for it. Or I will sell it as is & get something else.

Oh yeah the car is a rusted hulk. Motor is out & pulled apart. One head is missing but otherwise everything was there. No nice hidden surprises yet unfortunately. It definately has some parts I will save before crushing it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
