MY TEARDROP BUILD

Postby Buzz » Mon Jun 14, 2010 1:30 am

ok all, here's my teardrop contribution, i built this teardrop entirely from scratch with no plans an nearly 60% Recycled materials while still retaining a professional look. For the Skin i used Galvanized sheetmetal recycled from a swimming pool, The doors/hinges/frames are made entirely from recycled aluminum screen doors. The windows were salvaged from a camper , and finally the trailer frame itself was recycled with the exception of new springs/axle. More pics to come soon!Imagehttp://www.tnttt.com/gallery/image.php?image_id=66814Imagehttp://www.tnttt.com/gallery/image.php?image_id=66813

Well done on the 60% recycling.

The ally looks like it is patterned... ? OOOPPPSS , just re read, seen it is Galvanised sheet.
