This is what is known as the Big Balls Dance. This dance is usually performed after some outrageous shot/run/block in any sport. I think it is appropriate for this thread

WOW Jo! I always wanted to get a junked VX and attempt this. Kudos to you for going for it.

I thought that the... " what a day to start" ..
...would be a dead giveaway !
Actually..doing this:-
making a trailer from a twisted frame VX .
Yea Yea... Lame April Fools .. I know!
Super VXer
WOW... 49 facebook motorhead/VX friends fell for it.
Obviously a more discerning bunch here
Back to work on it..

I knew your plans for the trailer already and I even missed the April fools joke. I held off on commenting for fear of embarrassment.Originally Posted by JoFotoz
Looks like you're well on your way. Just need to stay on top of that 5 week deadline.

Man that is gonna be one sturdy trailer!
Side note: Are there any "leftover" parts from the removed top half? I am looking for replacement sunvisors (after I got over zealous with Gorilla Glue). Also an overhead light?

Jo,
You gonna swap out the posi rear end for an open unit or just gut it to limit the drag?
Are you going to build in a surge brake system that uses the OEM brakes? That'd be pretty sweet.
I'm looking forward to watching the progress & see the final product. Of course if the ORW is any kind of an indicator - there will never be a 'finished' product ... just stages of development.

Well...
Probably just pull it with extra drag for now... unless time allows.Jo,

No surge brake system yet... I dont think it will ever be loaded up enough to justify / require.
This project WILL Finish.... one day

Am I the only one in pain seeing this VX chopped in pieces? I almost cried.. although a VX trailer would be cool to pull behind my VX...
Super VXer
Frame was twisted. It would have been scrapped if Jo hadn't parted it out & saved the hiney for his own demented purposes.
Super VXer
Sorry Doug...
... but all parts I want to get rid of are gone.
Everything else becomes part of my own spares stash.
Cheers

PS - This is the same thing I want to build for my Trooper with an early LWB 2dr.

So are you building a VX-02 or are you building a trailer? or are you building a VX-02 themed trailer?
