    My Trailer Build/Rebuild

    This trailer started as an Ex Army Workshop chassis which had been modified prior to my purchase. The rusty old Series rear cross member has been removed and is being replaced with a new one made from RHS. Then the Series 111 tub will be reattached, a rollcage (removed from my Gunbuggy) fitted and my roof top tent put on top of that. Various things will be added as the build progresses, including water tank, drawers etc in a similar manner to the fitout in my Defender.

    Anyway, here's a few pics.

    I thought I should update what's happening with my trailer. It's a slow old build, but things are starting to progress.

    Front mount for tub


    Tabs for tub and tailgate hinges which were cut from old cross member


    Brackets for stabilizer legs




    And legs






    Tub trial fit




    I had these laying around, so why not.




    I want to mount a spare wheel on the front, so a bit of strengthening was required to share the load. I've used 16mm form ply for the front.








    I'm using the discarded rear door wheel mount from my Defender for the spare.




    After a clean up, a coat of etch primer was applied


    Then a good coat of chassis black




    While cleaning the chassis up I found these numbers. The first is obviously its previous NSW chassis no for rego, but can anyone shed any light on what the 3 figure number may be. As can be seen it's just behind where the lunette bolts on.




    The outside of the tub has been stripped of all paint as well now and there is a little work to do on that.

    A little more progress.

    The wheels have been laying around for a while, so I thought it was about time they were painted.














    The tub is now almost ready for filler and primer and a trial fit of the water tank.

    "556" is the chassis number from initial fabrication. The Army Rego Number matching that chassis number is "173-824", archived in this list:
    Full ARN 173 List - REMLR

    "173-824 - 1966 - Aust Workshop Platform - Census 6017 Automotive Repair Shop, Trailer mounted, 1/2 Ton, Garage - ch 556 - 7.50x16 - NSW" (allocation)

    Thx for the PM and a look over the photos of your progress on Wizbin. Same tyres.

    Takes me back, the twins are 18 and on P plates now. When we went camping with Wizbin and Castrol they were about 5 or so and trying to learn how to ride bikes as I remember. The tub came from Haylock's wreckers in Kotara. I can't recall where the trailer (with water tank mtd) came from, it could've been Warwick Lord. The oval cross-section looking water tank had a few taps along the back for filling army canteens.
