We have Boxy, the FTrailerO.
But now it's time to begin construction of the FTO Trailer.
I hereby name this trailer to be.
The Lawso.
As it currently lays.
Some parts to be removed.

Rough idea. Tossing up for boot hatch, or not (with cut off)

It is now in a safer place... even when it is planned to be cut in half

So where do you plan on cutting it?
Any sketches etc, of what we can expect?

I do have images... somewhere, too many computers.
Expect to see half an FTO on an A-frame.
Still tossing up how to do the tail-gate, if at all.

Updated first post with image I made a while ago.
Gives a rough idea.
Given the rear hips, I either elimate those completely, and square the top off, or I leave them on.
The spoiler is simply to show the angle better.

So how did the car actually die?
Seeing it now it did seem familiar...

Vectose came by on Saturday and gave me a hand with the new reciprocating saw.
Removed majority of the gear left in the rear, 'b pillar' back.
Also installed the old left side tail light which will do for now.

Want to see the bent rail?
It's a statutory write off, so it's either a trailer, or cutlery.
Or in this case, 50/50
Oh, and there is actually quite a bit of rust throughout it.
Even in the rear end.
