Car Trailer Rehab and Restoration

[@franklong8573]

When I refloored my trailer , I put no screws in the boards. The boards are held in by the angle iron , front and rear. I made the rear piece of angle iron removable ( bolt in with 3 bolts ).

That's a good idea! I was working with what was there originally, but in the future I'll probably do that same as you.

I put used motor oil on my wood still looks good after 10 years

What kind of rust converter did you use? I'm looking at a couple & the one you applied looked similar to one of the ones I've been considering for my trailer rehab.

[@in-depthdiy2123]

I believe it was called corroseal.

@@in-depthdiy2123 Terrific, thanks! That's what it looked like & that's the one I was leaning towards, from both cost & results perspective.

Any idea of the make and model of this trailer? I just bought one that looks identical but can’t find a tag

[@in-depthdiy2123]

This style is fairly common between a few manufacturers. I want to say this one was a Perri brand.

Sand blasting it is way quicker bud ive done a lot of trailers and you will save a lot of hrs if you set up a blaster to remove all that scale and surface rust

I redone my car hauler I sand blasted it a lot quicker
