Much props to you man. I admire your craftsmanship. I'll keep checking back with your website to see how it's going. Good luck with the finishing touches.

Great project, well done

We plan on getting a Clubman S, then I want to build a tear drop trailer for it.

I would suggest an aluminum frame, if you have the option...it makes for a lot easier towing...on a 4x8, the weight difference is over 100 lbs.

EXAMPLE:

Steel (600 lbs.) vs. Aluminum (460 lbs)
trailer 1
trailer 2

Just my 2 cents
