best one i can find, he's making another one now as that one was rushed a bit for a holiday or something, the above photo being taken in italy i believe, and as you can see the paints a bit flat as a result of no lacquer, but apparently it worked pretty well.

theres a chap on retrorides from germany doing a pretty good job of a similar saloon based trailer too.

Damn! I love it. I always liked such things but 95% of them look boxy/cheap/strange/ugly, looking at the front of the trailer. Yours make it somewhat much nicer with those seats still functioning and a `fully sealed` trunk. :)
are these legal? must register? how is insurance done?
Keep posting!

[Vomaz]

This is gonna be legal, I need a working trailer and remove tha axel and hitch and mont the rear end on top and it still a trailer but looks like a car.. then i dont need to show it to the police before reg it..

so if you use a good working trailer you can built anything you want ;)
there are som criteries that i need as a triangel reflektplate in the rear, and weight must not be overloaded..

[RedArrow]

Obviously it looks best when completely level with car, painted same color, 6 matching wheels all around.

I dont know whats legal there..
Yes, in deed it look best if its looks like the car.. :)

[Vomaz]

I have unfortunately not had time to make the car / trailer completely finished, as I have plenty of other projects that take up time ... :/

Hi Vomaz, that`s bad news from you.

Recently I drove far to spend my vacation in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park (North Carolina &Tennessee)
where I also visited the famous car shows in Pigeon Forge
...!!...man!....
awesome cars,museum pieces,survivors, trucks, ratrods, race cars,offroads,pickups,heavy duty vehicles, built monsters,project cars, extremely rare famous cars,cars of unknown brands in perfect condition,bagged,lifted,monstered,ratted,rotted:) etc, all trailered or driven there to have fun and drink beers then go hike the park...:) many oldschools, tons* of American musclecars, etc, (1000s of them)+rare cars and motorcycles, cool wow!... plus LOTS of serious traffic too!...

anyways, there I saw a Caprice with a trailer made of trunk of same car, painted and pinstriped the same color and style on 6 matching rims.

All I can say is it looked absolutely awesome!
So hurry up and finish that project asap, dont forget to document&post the process. We`d like to see rwd volvobricks with their brick trailers.

*PS. Hey, not only you but in the Great Smoky Mountains your car is hiking too!...lots of lots of huge mountains. Fantastic road quality and unbelievably sharp curves sometimes. Route 129, `The Tail of the Dragon` is well-known too. 318curves in only 11miles. Imagine that with your trailer-brick!:)
