Series 2a rear tub trailer build

[Samo Samo]

Starting another project even though i still got some bits to do on my Series 2a restoration not in this section more on what i did each day.

i brought this tub from Gridman a while back and thought it was about time i made a move on it, just basically stripped it out took all capping's off now with blasters.

i brought the rear lights over the summer at various places last purchase at Malvern showground military fair.

Well done for actually getting something re-galvanised.
I really don't know why so many people are put off by the idea.
Like it was mission impossible or something

Could just get a couple of rear hubs and drums from a series and fit a tube between them .
