I have been browsing the site on and off since I got my trailer a couple of years ago.  A couple of weeks ago I finally started to work on it.  

I am not going to a complete original restoration on this, as there is a lot of rust that needs to be cut out and replaced with new metal.  I am building this to function as a tool when I go on vacations with my family.  The end goal is going to be a nice looking, as close to original looking bantam trailer as I could.  That I could carry our luggage, kids stuff, Kayak, bikes etc.  What ever is needed.

The day I got it








Cut 2.5"s off the bottom edges to eliminate rust. Actually probably only cut off about 1" but it was 2.5"s from where it should be.

With soaking everything in PB blaster for a few days.  I only had to cut 3 bolts.  Broke 2 bump stop bolts, and had to Cut the lugs off the left side.

I will keep posting my build as it progresses

I have not done anything with this since this post.  So I am going to part with it if anyone is interested.

It pretty much needs a new frame, 2"s of metal added around the bottom edge, and a floor.  I am picking up a M101a2 tomorrow, so I would like to get this out of the way.

Honestly, I don't know?  Someone from this forum, a couple of cases of their favorite local beer?  $50?

If I throw it on a general forum or CL or something I will probably say $100.  I do have a majority of the hardware.  Some nuts and bolts will need to be replaced, but some are salvageable.  And the studs on the drivers side of the axle need to be replaced.
