Ferret90 Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 I have finally got hold of a Britains ford/iveco cargo, without a box back thingy. I'm hoping to make it into a 7.5t horsebox like this...so far, I have built a mock up of the back with the measurements. Then I'm planning to build it out of plastic sheets, and if that fails, a 3D printer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stabliofarmer Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Excited to see this progress Ted. Probably one of the main models Britain's should have made in my opinion, would only require an extra mould or two to what they already had Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Alastair, yes they seem to have rocketed in price recently, I've been looking for ages but they seem to be around £50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
