Dan32 drift car tansporter

[gem-s13]

ok here the buzz we all no he bought a car insted of building one!! just to get that in there, was looking around for a trailer since he bought the car the problem was his car s15 is 6 foot 4 inches wide where the avrage brian james tiltbed is only 6'3" so no good the only trailer it will fit on are all priced around 3000euro or above!!!!! you would buy a shitty recovery truck for that kind of money

he came accross a van for decent money the idea was to fix it up and sell it on make a few quid to fund a trailer but i siad id build him a custom car transporter from the van! cant be done he said you watch!!

started as this on sat
