:dontgetit: Well here goes - as promised to everyone at this years BH2N. (If anyone wants a once in a lifetime experience it's BH2N - believe me!!!!) :dontgetit:

After such a great time with a fantastic bunch of loonies, I decided that a double bed/trailer to hold all my disco gear,projector,lasers,PS2 and large screen was what's needed for BH2N 2008 (BIGGER, better, louder!!!) :dontgetit:

I've just started on "The minger" trailer/double bed. This will be, for those who don't know, a sister to my "LaBitch" mini 35. Same paint job, trim and new graphics.

I've purchased bits from other forum members - thanx goes out to daryl crossley (flip front) and mni_steve (tahiti shell) :dontgetit:

So far I've rolled shell onto side and started stripping down all pipes, cables, dangly bits.

Watch this space for the next installment/pix. :ermm:

Got shell on its side now and stripping like a good 'un. Will take off back subbie tomorrow and build my extension up.

Decided to buy some 550kg mini hub suspension axles to replace existing subbie/shocks etc - more weight off yeah!!!! :(

Hi all - back in action again after my "man flu". :)

Been building up extension/enclosure for project (pix to follow) and grinding off unnecessary bitz on bottom of shell.
Used P40 to repair & fill up bolt holes/rust etc.

Obtained a piece of marine ply 9mm thick which I'll use for internal floor - hinged in places for storage!!!

I've had a word with TDK Racing about possibly getting a fibreglass body with all windows intact (in fibreglass), f/glass doors and having a hatchback door on the rear!!!!!!

If I mount it onto existing floor it should save a bundle on weight, which is my main worry about this project. :errr:




As it's going to rain tomorrow (Sunday), I'll be concentrating on building 4 large 250watt bins + 1 large sub bin, I'm taking in above trailer to BH2NRR. :(

I'm not called dekz2uk for nuttiin u know >_<
