Thought thats a bit messy , but noticed the broken brush!
thought it was a bit messy when i put photos on,things always look worse to me when you look at pictures it was painted white and needed a freshen up so steam cleaned an degreased ready to paint but then had a engine change to do in a hurry so it got used and covered in oil, full marks for observation(y)

what length is it and what do you think it cost to make?
it is 6.5m long all the plate came from a sale it is 6mm thick if you look it is joined every 1 meter to suit the plate the floor is 6mm chequer plate 100x65 mm angle around the top with box section ribs around the outside it is a must to have it folded to take the lights in the side i have made about 6 of them now the longest 10.5 m long for lorries they are backfilled with concrete do not under estimate how much ballast they need in them as you are filling them i had 9 ton in the 6.5m and 12 in the 10 .5m builders bags with stone are good to ballast them down when back filling i think we would be looking at about £3000 for one fully fabricated painted with lights and delivered
