Mate, I built the trailer in 1998/9 for the 1999 FB-EK Holden Nationals in Shepperton, Vic.
It was a lot of work I cut two wagons in half with an air hacksaw (the reason I'm half deaf today I reckon!). While it was my build I had a few mates to help out along the way as I'm not a great welder. I designed it, cut it and painted it. Considering it hasn't been shown any love and has been outside for over a decade it still looks OK. It does now need a rebuild/tart up as it is showing it's age. In case your wondering it does have tailgates at each end and they all open as per factory. I don't really have any built photos because it was done before digital cameras. I do though have some video footage somewhere after I did the cut and just after we joined it together. It's only ever done the one show since I built it and that was the Nats in '99. Towing a 900kg trailer with a gray motor Holden interstate sort of puts you off doing it too often!

Did you notice the exhaust? People go to overtake and then get a surprise how much they have to pass.... Thinking it is just an early Holden!

Yours is coming along great and your doing yourself, your way! I can't knock I bloke for doing that. I watch the build with interest.

She's no Sandman (not even pretend) but this is my trailer.

I can't decide whether that's the coolest or cutest thing I've ever seen.

How much paint do you need for a ute? And can you just take the paint code into any paint shop and get the paint or do you have to go to the panel betters?
