Bought a new trailer from Harbor Freight, $249.00. Assembled it and added a ground wire to the lights $2.00. Added a 3/4 inch exterior plywood deck $39.00. Bought 4 tie downs with rachets. $12.00. Grand Total $302.00.

Trailer is rated for about 1259 lbs according to the sticker on it.

Guess what I have, a tub or roller trailer. Think a fullup Bugeye would be a bit much. Oh yea, trailer tilts as well.

When I am finished with it in about a year, I am sure I can sell it for $400.00 any day of the week.

Lookout Jolly comming at ya on the 28th. Only lack an oil change on the truck.

Shoot, 1450 is just about enough for the whole car! I'd take a look at any structural weak points, guset/reinforce them and use it as an auto hauler....
 
When I went to the site there was a pop up window for part #92622-2VGA. 1175# cap and it's $249.99.
Part #42709 comes up as the 990# cap and is $214.99. Hmmm.
What did they get you for shipping?
 
When I clicked on the #92622 description another window popped up advertising this for $219.99.
I wish Ebay had MG's for sale with pop up windows like this. The price keeps going down!
 
I drove an hour away and picked it up.
 
That's prpbably how you saved a ton.
 
Today I put the 3/4 inch exterior plywood on with bolts as well. Is really strong. But first I stained the deck Walnut. Hehe, just happened to have a can of that, wife says it is a super fine looking trailer. That's the final test in my book. Off to get it registered.
