    I remember seeing that the other day and thought it was cheap. Once you fix the floor you'd have a great trailer there.

    I have a feeling there is lots more involved than the floor but would be a good project to repair

    Is that a good deal?, i will be needing something like this, but it needs a new floor?..the gear may be ok but its "sthill" 2nd hand, i've been eyeing off lots of trailers and have seen some pretty good lookers on the net, secondly, its the bid of 3000, how much will it go for is any mans guess.

    Could be a bit like the floor I have to replace in a 8x5 tandem. From memory it was like 60-70 welds that needed grinding 1st.
    I think I will just get the rest done and run with it for another year, or two, or...........
