Checked out this trailer today. Fixer upper. Not sure if it's worth it. His bottom dollar, 500.
16ft x 75in floor. 98in x ~19ft total. 12in rail height. Mostly 2in and 3in angle iron with 2x10 planks. Heavy enough I couldn't lift it a mm. Needs a pair of electric brakes, lights and wiring, 4 tires, at least 2 wheels (I might have that covered if I go 5x4.5" hubs), susp bushings. Also ramps. The floor droops across the middle, likely overloaded the angle. ?? Both axles curve a little, like they were made for a bit of camber. Plan for it is to move cars under 4,000lb to flip and the 914 to events. Also toying with making my own that's lighter, using rectangle or something. Haven't seen blueprints I like yet.
