Little update:
Found a work-shop manual on Ebay!
In the weekend I travelled 1050 km to get this trailer. A "BPW" (d.i.y build)single axel chassis. It is just big enough for an Escort. The Transit can only tow 1200kg legally, so this trailer is a perfec´, weighing only 300kg empty(together with a 900kg Escort=1200kg) Max total on trailer is 1500kg. It also look kind of old fashion, beeing an added bonus!
Winter has finally come! Here the tranny with the trailer. I have added some more stickers. For now I do not have any good winter tires for the car, but I do have snow chains..should the need araise.

pretty strict laws then....i suppose its the same here really although now you have to be towing a twin axle trailer here with a 4x4....a single axle can be towed with a go cart
....i do like your pics and the intentions of your new found love....MODELS...

The roads are finally free of the snow and ice.., so had a test run today... Sadly not a rocket.., and the Transit can still carry 1600 kg more..

Thule roof racks(?), 953 foots and 766 bars.
This will be the basis of the roof rack,maybe I add two more of them...making it six in total.
Rack will be made of square tubing fixed to the Thule bars.Comment
