- I bought box7x4 foot box trailer that unfortunately was covered in rust down to its frame rails.
I've seen a lot of TH-cam videos showing how to remove surface rust but nothing that show's how to restore a trailer from scratch.
In this episode I finish the fabrication and paint the trailor with the finished paint job.
Hardware:
Number plate light: ebay.us/oDY3Mi
Tailgate latch: ebay.us/lN4Mqv
Bullet hinge: ebay.us/tcpBZt
Nice to see it done, Great job 😊
Excellent Job, better than a brought one!! Can't believe how good the tow ball coupling turned out.
Thanks for the comment Chris
I cant wait to start using it!

Excellent video bro. I was looking for info on how to replace a floor and you've given me that plus more. Many thanks!
So much better than the original. Pretty much a new trailer 😂 Awesome job mate! I now feel inspired start mine. Big job ahead 😅
Next, fit the trailer with Sunraysia rims and sell the Ford Falcon rims for big money!
Well done mate. No easy job. 👍👊
Looks great. How much for the floor metal?
Hi Mark
From memory it cost $120 from Southern Steel, 2.5m x 1.4m 2mm steel checker plate.
@@MaximumDIY ok thanks. You've inspired me. I've done an intro to welding course at Tafe. Stick, mig & tig. I have an old AC stick welder & an old gas mig. Just got to pull my finger out. 😩
@@1mach28914u1 I'm so glad I've inspired you Mark! - There aren't many of us DIY'ers left!
If I could give you some advice with welding on a mig, perform some test welds on a few pieces of metal and see what works best. Then mark the voltage setting and feed speed with a sharpie on the side of the welder for quick reference if your welder doesn't have a welding chart. For example on my Ozito welder (17.4v @ 16 speed) works really well for 3mm steel. Also don't be afraid to crank the welder up to max and see what it's caipable of, for years I never used my welder past the 3rd setting and found it was so much better when using more power in the correct application.
A good welding gun also helped me out massively as the Euro Mig guns use an electric switch on the gun instead of the cheap valve/switch in one unit and I found it hard to press the trigger - chechout more on that in this video th-cam.com/video/NduMVNdxVEM/w-d-xo.html
