Building Spark

Fending

As I have an English boat that will be towed by an English Truck, I decided to go all in and make the trailer look the part. Aside from dealing with it's structural issues. I will be changing out the fenders and lighting to look more vintage and, you guessed it, more English.

The Fenders are glassfibre replicas of the Lotus 7's "cycle" fenders. These will allow me to fit a larger wheel and rim under them. The Axle-less suspension I am swapping in will allow 4 on 4 hubs which means I can run wheels from the MG Midget. For lighting, I am using reproduction lights from the MGA, with LED upgrades, to make sure the trailer looks as old as it is.

For your pleasure, the mockups so far.
I have to build some plinths to make the lights fit right, and the fenders are going to be set up to be easily removable before dunking so as not to ruin all my hard work, but you get the idea, blue painter's tape or not
