Club trailer

[efgiar]

hey guys im going to start making a club trailer for the club. i have all the tools and knowledge needed exept a welder and parts, if any one would like to make donations on an ea-el rear end shell (ef/el would be preffered) and other things i plan to make a barby and a drink cooler built into the boot of the trailer. if anyone would like to donate to this project it will be owned by the entire of e-series club and anyone can use it as they wish with conditions of course (that it comes back as it was sent out ) but lets not get that far ahead. ill write up a list of things needed and if anyone can help then it would be much appreciated thanks

ea-el rear end in GC with tail lights, bar, loom etc etc (ef/el prefered)
bbq
drink cooler
goose neck
100mm angle steel
lend of a welder later down the track
a nice set of wheels and tyres
a park bench (to replace the rear seat)

thats the list of stuff needed so far. if anyone can help it would be appreciated. i am also willing to make club trailers for other clubs on the condition that the club supplys all parts needed and throw in a little cash for usables eg, welding wire, beer, cutting discs etc etc. if i have any more stuff that is needed i will post again thanks everyone!

john has brang somthing to my attention, he wants to make 2 club trailers.. 1 ef/el and 1 ea-ed which is a great idea because there will be no wingeing :P and if we do have like a huge meet we can bring both.

i can donate some snoflake alloys but you said nice wheels...hahaha

sounds like a good idea....if only you started this a while ago me and john had a perfectly good ED cobalt rear end that could have been used :P. monty has probably scrapped that thing by now.

[efgiar]

damn, if u see one thats free or very cheap itll help. thanks

why not just make it from a wagon rear end? would have more room in it too. then you wouldnt have to make 2 of them ;)

[efgiar]

yeah but u need somthing with a boot, it would look weird if u cut it off at the door, ill do a couple photo shops and show u wat i mean, it just woudlnt look right, and yes u wouldnt have to make 2 but oh well, its all in good fun

[Interceptor'85]

Estupendo Idea efgiar!
Would definately make meet points on cruises more cozy, and enjoyable with a lil snack and a drink.

Wagon style would be more roomy...But a Sedan style would be Unheard of a really stand out!!!
So Do both :

Get the Site sponsors notified as they might be able to throw in a few bits n peices in return to get their name on the Trailer!

Love it!!! ~Matt

im getting john to photo shop a couple pics up and i dont think the wagon would look very good, but we could make an ef/el sedan and ea-ed wagon as the ea-el rear end of a wagon was all the same.

[EFFalcon]

sure, getting rims like that and the rear skirt may be tough, but it looks mad
styling taken from the VL trailer that was on ebay a while ago.

thats exactly what i had in mind john, awesome photoshop

[bad_mk1_escort]

i have an ea back if ya interested in it make an offer

[efgiar]

not interested if it isnt donated, sorry but i am not making profit from this trailer, i will be putting many hours of my time and my money into the project. if you would like to donate it then your more then welcome, sorry

Is this going to be used to carry all the other stuff, like tents? I dont see you fitting much in the boot of a eseries, Or will johns original eseries trailer still be used as well ?

[LUXO_8]

i suggest we have a wagon one as well as a sedan one,

the wagon one cut off at window level , basically to make it look like a ute....

then have like a tarp or hard lid, this one can carry the tent / etc


the original idea can be the bbq trailer / seat / drinks one

What about side rails that carry stockies :sm_headba
oh, and a head gasket rack?

bwahahaha :hihi: :sm_headba

this is john, but consider the whole point of price.
custom work like covers, etc on a wagon one would be money
a cut down sedan for carrying small stuff is a lot cheaper and likely easier to make.

also, there is no reason why you couldn't have some things ontop of it (similare to roof racks) to carry more.
when do we need to take massive amounts of luggage anyway, an eseries boot is plenty big enough, espectially when combined with the boot of the tow car too.
i'd propose taxi vinyl rear seat too :P

i love the idea

we can put a hide away area to carry some spares in them for emergancy like fuel pump, belts ect

just an idea

efgiar ill speak on messanger i have some drawings of the layout for ya

[efgiar]

thanks for the input guys, every bit will help into the final design, just waiting on a shell, i think we have an ef ИИИИ end lined up john? and i could prolly get a ea-ed ИИИИ for free for a trade in on the pulsar shell i have here.

[snypereb]

Love the idea can you get the stuff from the wreckers like rear bar and boot lid and all the stuff suppose we are looking at getting all the same colour so we dont have to spray it!!

[efgiar]

snypereb we are getting a whole car, and cutting the back off it, because it will be all the same color that way

[EFFalcon]

won't know if i can get a shell for a few days.
see what happens.

Hey guys i got an ea ive been trying to give away for ages its a gold colour in ok nic if you want it needs wheels and breaks as ive pinched them

[LTDHO]

Umm, before starting this build.

Run spec's past me, I will let you know if it will be legal! After all, we do want to be able to take it to events!!

Also you shouldn't use 100mm angle for the draw bar. It can bend! You can use 50x70RHS. Smaller and stronger!

If you need any new trailer parts, let me know.

If it's pearl green would look great towed behind my car

Wasnt perfect when we got it home to Adelaide. I lost my temper with it at one stage and got stuck into it with a brake rotor

[Kaddis]

as i said last time this idea came up im willing to make up stickers for the trailer! i know john might be able to aswell but i can make some larger ones if needed!!

is there anywhere we can look in reguards to specs or similar that have to be conformed to when we're talking about trailers?
anything we should be aware of?

[EFFalcon]

couple of sites we'll need:
