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. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif)
