Nice work John, the rear lights look superb.


I reckon your RR would look better than the one in the picture, wide wheels, party deck...

When I was a child, a family friend (who was a mechanic) built a version of this in a mini form, i.e. he had a mini Van, chopped in half and mounted on a trailer, from the rear it looked no different from a - mini van following a Ford zodiac- but with no cab up front just a plywood panel, didn't stop the caravan site owner wanting to charge him for two vehicles though on anglesey.

We had about three of those in our village in Wales
A little A bracket welded to the rear sub frame
with a tow hitch bolted on and you had a very cheap enclosed
trailer.
I think the mini subframe was the reason it was so easy.
