My $100. trailer build

Looks great! I like seeing these budget builds; anyone can make a trailer look nice when you put $ 10,000 into it.

Very nice score.

What did you end up using to strip the paint?

Bought a gallon of the gel type stripper then a scrapper then a 8 in grinder with a rubber flexable pad and 100 grit sand paper the a small grinder with a wire cone brush.took most of the day to do one side but when the guy said $250. to sand blast the outside NOT including the inside or underneith I figured what the heck, Im off this week so I,ll save that money for somthing later. Besides..... working on its half the fun...right?

Yes, the work is half the fun, it looks like I will be going the same route.

Nicely done, and good score. Beats my $150 civilian jeep trailer, and is in much better condition.

I'd like to see closer views of the bracket for the water cans.

And closer views of the drop axle and the tongue setup.

And this pic is truncating. Do you have another copy of it?
