When a rather sad horse float arrives at your door, what ya gonna do
Rebuild it of course, and that exactly what we did
and out of the ashes popped up a real beauty.
Filled with rust and dents, it looked like it had a bit of a tough time.
If your thinking your old horse float needs a revamp – Think Country Tradies & Construction
Completely rebuilt, and painted with a 2 pack epoxy top coat the new horse float was a winner.
The spare wheel was relocated to the front.
New horse hitching points were added to each side.
New windows all round and of course we couldn’t not forget new decals to pretty things up.
The inner frame was completely rusted out, so much so that in a prang it was likely that the whole horse float would have just fallen apart
So out came the angle grinder & welder and all rusted effected frames, members and panels were replaced – including a new and extended draw bar.
The main frame was then fully re-welded to ensure that all box sections were fully sealed.
The next stage was completely re-skinning the frame with Zincalume sheeting.
After welding the new outer skin into place all the internal cavity edges were then sealed with Sikaflex Sealant.
After the sealant job was created the entire internal surfaces where sprayed with 2 pack etch primer paint before the internal skin was installed.
We now have an internal set of walls that wont rust out. How goods that 🙂
With a bit of painting, wiring and fitting out
Ha yea, a spic and span horse float popped out
Country Tradies had done it again 🙂
