          I think it could have been done better.

            awesome project! gotta be one impressive handling trailer!

            any reason for not fabbing up a fold down tailgate? I understand the taillights kinda wraparound, which would have complicated things.

                Somebody linked me to a pic of that same trailer earlier today! [Different pic though]

                Had never seen that one until today.

                  I wonder how he got it so low? Maybe some short Eibach race springs.

                    Good question.

                    I still have my eye out for a set of Eibach rears for mine but anything lower than those would look silly since my car is only on M3 springs.

                        funky, only seen this one so far, looking good.

                            Well he kept the exhaust in maybe he kept the fuel tank and filled it with ballast aka water or coolant mixed with water.

                            That would allow it to sit like a normal car.
                            This would detract from overall useability of it unless he could drain it with the pitcock and refill as needed.

                              if he did it would make an awesome track day trailer. enough room for some R compounds and driving gear + you could rig a pump and handle assembly for race fuel and pump it on out

                                Agreed. But looking at the styling doubt it. I don't know how strict Hungry is with their inspections. But if it was Germany it would have be done real good or TUV would be all over it.

                                As the saying goes Till TUV or Death.
