So I found a Horsebox in some dire need of TLC at a bargain price, it stood around waiting for a refurbishment for 10 years, but alas nobody wanted to spend the money. I got hold of the owner via FB and some detective work via the registration number. Made an offer and took delivery. Low and behold all the paperwork was up to date.
The plan was to get somebody to do the work, but it turned out to be far too expensive…seems like this horse stigma makes for expensive quotes.
I decided to do it myself with the aspirant horse lover/ride/show jumper as help.
Let the pics do the story : :thumleft:

I decided to replace the 2 side panels as the front was still OK. This is1.5 Alum skins sandwiched with 15mm pine plywood x 2.
fitting new rims new tires, refurbishing the mudguards, refurbishing the "inloop remme"
fitting a new alum floor, checking all nuts and bolts, roadworthy, and finally a rubber  non slip coating on the floor.
