Make a trailer from a car. Chopped car and fibreglass front opening.

Posted by admin as car trailers

This is a project I had in mind for a while. I managed to aquire a cheap donor Toyota Previa and started work. The finished car trailer will resemble my own Previa.
The lights are the rear normal car lights. Tint the windows,ply inside, new wheels and a respray.

I did one of these with an Astro van, its a bit tongue heavy though, differential is part of the problem and I just used flat sheet metal, wish I had gotten another set of doors off another van and used them instead so you have full access to the front easy.

I had it weighed @ 300kgs. There is still more floor to cut out. I think it’s light to push around. BTW, up to 600kgs do not need brakes. This is half the weight.

Lol, Smart car …
Lol, Smart car trailer? Just drive it straight inside and youre off..

Lol, Previa Smart …
Lol, Previa Smart car? The gearbox stuck out the back about 10 foot. It was funny though watching the scrap metal guy hitch up the front and take it away.
As for inside, all ply lined and used for tools, materials and occasionally my mobile disco. Unfortunately I still have not done much more to it yet. The weather has been too hot or wet to continue with fibreglassing. And work commitments don’t help either.

Wait, one more thing. What did you do with the front? It could have a new use if you think about it. Previa smart car?

mudbug, legislation …
mudbug, legislation has changed regarding brakes. I was going to use the existing drums for handbrake and brakes but it would be against the law as they don’t have “auto-reverse”. So I’m going to strip the brakes out and have an unbraked trailer which will then be legal. How stupid .

Hey that’s going to …
Hey that’s going to be one slick trailer! Are you going to hook up the brakes as well ?
