306 Estate Trailer - Alex - 20-02-2014
Just a mad idea I had a few weeks ago - chop a 306 estate in half and make a trailer from the back end.
No doubt it has been done before but wtf. I reckon it'll turn a few heads being dragged by a 306 estate.

Do it would be awesome fit a bed in it with some cooking space bit like top gear with the estates be perfect for shows no tenting

I nearly did this with a hatch last year but little niggles ended it and I just bought a trailer!!
Would be cool

That was the back of a hatchback though, the op is talking about using an estate back end.

There's a lot of minis with trailer at mini shows they're so cool.

Do it. I'll happily cut a 306 in half for you. The only issue you'll find is the overall weight and getting it balanced right.

One of my mates has chopped a. Vw jetta in half and made it into a trailer.

Yep, looks awesome
RE: 306 Estate Trailer - Alex - 21-02-2014
Well Saturday (tomorrow) is the day the whole car enters the barn . . .
Saturday came . . . the car is now in the barn ready for the chop. I'll be sticking some large blocks underneath to take the weight/strain when the cut happens. Big angle grinder at the ready.
I feel like 'the Mad Professor"!
RE: 306 Estate Trailer - Alex - 29-03-2014
The car is now in two!
If I knew how to post pictures, I would. I have upped some onto the Facebook page.

I genuinely thought it was a scrap yard for a minute!
RE: 306 Estate Trailer - Alex - 29-03-2014
It's an open barn that is used for sawing logs and firewood.
One day I will "tidy up", when I find the Haynes Manual on it . . .

RE: 306 Estate Trailer - Alex - 29-03-2014
I'll not be giving up. I see why you want a silver one, I'm thinking of painting it red to match my car.
RE: 306 Estate Trailer - Grant - 30-03-2014
This is epic.
Although aren't home made trailers illegal now?
I hope I am wrong
RE: 306 Estate Trailer - procta - 30-03-2014
get it done!
RE: 306 Estate Trailer - bingham123456 - 30-03-2014
Home made trailers ain't illegal. a guy did it with a zafira not to long ago (5-6months) and aslong as you take it to vosa for a check its fine. You get some paperwork to say its had a vosa check and all is legal
