306 Estate Trailer
|
20-02-2014, 08:43 PM
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. 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.

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"!

The car is now in two!
If I knew how to post pictures, I would. I have upped some onto the Facebook page.

You can use the forums own image uploader which you'll find underneath the text entry box in full editor mode.
Or use photobucket
sound's like a great idea btw

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 . . .

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.

This is epic.
Although aren't home made trailers illegal now? I hope I am wrong ![[Image: car-1.jpg]](http://i1117.photobucket.com/albums/k591/grant-306/car-1.jpg) Member of the 99% warning or you're nothing club 2000 Moonstone 1.8 Meridian - Sold 2000 China 3dr XS - Dead 1998 Diablo 3dr XSI

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
when in doubt...... flat out.
