Default Hi Rob

No other bits found as of yet. The gun project has been crawling along, spending any spare time on the FAT which is now running. We took it for its first drive just the other day. But I will get back to the yard that this trailer was in to have a closer look . Cheers Rob

Default Notify Rob Love of another trailer in Manitoba!

Rob & Tony,
Better notify Rob Love of another trailer available,He likes collecting them and I am sure he has a spot in the yard for another one!
Nice find on the rims and hub covers!
Derk.
