I've seen photos of a couple of trailers constructed from Giulia Supers ( :o :o) being towed by Giulia Supers. Got me thinking what would be involved in such a construction.
Before anyone screams in horror, I was thinking Alfa 90, not Giulia......
So how would one start? Cut front and back off a sedan and rejoin them in the middle, or would it be better to build a trailer chassis and graft the panels onto that?
Interesting discussion, I have a spare 156 which could make a spare trailer. What are the rules for making and registering your own trailer?
Most State authorities default to VSB-1 http://www.infrastructure.gov.au/roads/vehicle_regulation/bulletin/vsb1/
There are PDF versions available on line, just ensure they are the latest version. Of course, in Vic there are other rules (e.g. some small trailers do not require registration).
The way the bumpers wrap on the 90 and most later model vehicle could make a neat join of the front and rear 'cut' challenging.
For a 156 it might be easier to source a crashed wagon, and simply cut it off at the firewall?
Been looking at few more side view sketches and because of the wedge shape of the 80s/90s Alfas, grafting the front to the rear panels would seem to be more complicated than it would be with a Giulia Super. So maybe just using a rear half-cut would be the better option. A 164 might also be a candidate. FWD gives a much flatter floor to work with.
Kind of a nice idea, alot of 90 and 164 body's will be going to the crusher anyway, a think a great outcome is possible if you put the effort in, may do it myself one day if I see more examples :)
