Well it seems the summer is well and truly over, where has the good weather gone? Dammit, it is only August for crying out loud!

Seems August is the season for dodgy chinese/russian/polish spam merchants as well Angry
I am trying to keep on top of killing them off but it is a struggle and I am bound to miss a few, so ifd you spot any dodgy posts trying to flog you viagra or porn, please let me know as I have a nuke waiting here to send them for their troubles!!!!!

Work continues on the small trailer, all bodywork is now done, chassis has been sanded and re painted and so to start laying down the paint on the body.
The holes are all drilled for the new LED Lights, dual stop/tail lights and frenched in diamond turn signals. Just got to make a witing harness for it all now and rig up a trailer hitch and connectors on the trike to suit.
On with the painting (if it warms up in here or I'll need to buy a tent and spray in there).
Basecoat sealer dark followed by metalic midnight blue followed by sparklescent nightmare blue. Lots of sanding in between coats until it is time to lay on the clear coat. Going to use a new 2K clear that is apparently very easy to cut and polish so this trailer is going to look the dogs bollocks when it is all done.

Pictures are being taken as I go along so I'll post them as a timeline when I'm done  Cheesy

Have a good week folks

I'm taking snaps as I go along mate.
So much of what I am doing is never going to be noticed, like stripping the chassis and repainting it gloss black and replacing the crappy bolts with chromed ones Sad But I'll know they are there and that it is a job well done  Cheesy
Got to fibreglass in some reinforcing plates for the hinges and lock that I nearly forgot about lol and fibreglass in some tubing to run the wiring harness I am making through as well  Grin

I managed to match the paint to the trikes existing paint job and as a little extra touch, I am going to ghost in the yamaha logo onto the side panels  Cheesy
