Is the trailer something the D will be towing?

Great ! It's finished!!! I would look for a ad rear fascia to mount on that rear end there! ;)

If I did that I would have to make the entire rear section lift off to access the doors, instead of just the central number plate box. Since the rear fascia wouldn't fit the shape of the trailer, I think it would look better to just make the current shape out of brushed welded stainless. I could semi-recess the lights though to make them look neater.

Wooww! That was so complex to read and comprehend... I can imagine it would be even harder to achieve.... Got it mate! ;)

How's the project coming along? I'd love to see the turbo and the setup.

Well it was basically on hold for a long time, I only managed to get the car back from the Netherlands in November, and then various stuff happened, my wife spent a lot of time in hospital etc. Starting to work on it again now though. Basically the engine, brakes, steering, gearbox, suspension, cooling are all working properly. Remaining work is basically electrical and cosmetic. I hope to have it done for this summer but we'll see.

Finally took the TARDIS trailer out for a test run last weekend. Stable at 60 MPH on the M25 with no issues, although I think I'll be keeping to 50 MPH. Drew a ton of rubberneckers on the motorway and people posing for photos when I stopped at Tescos, and that's towing it with an obscure SUV not the DMC-12.
