Renovating A-Frame, Chassis and Legs



Poor Margo had been stored on grass for over 20 years, and the difference between her and Stanley is shocking. Stanley was stored on the drive and has no damage to his a-frame and legs (only age related.) 




This is what stopped me from towing her home when I went to get her, a-frame was rotted into the ground. :(

But with the help of the wonderful Dan, we got her home and then the hunt for a welder began!

Thanks to Twitter a perfect welder was found! (Thank you!!)


Overall, there was not too much damage to the rest of her, but without a workable a-frame she was going no where fast and we only just got her into position before it fell apart!


 Enter the amazing welder from Mobile Weld Ltd!


She looked so odd missing her a-frame.


This is what was left of the rotted a-frame.


It was really amazing to watch the new frame going on, he paid such attention to detail. 


Thats better!



Yes am a very messy painter but I had limited time! 

Here is the video all about getting her a-frame rebuilt and ready to go back out on the road!
