I freely admit that I did damage th front bumper but the rest was not me. The top of the door cracked as per usual and the front wing had a rust spot blow through so we have cut the whole lower section off.

As you said you're thinking of a box trailer - how about the back end of a Connect, sprayed to match? Reckon it would look uber cool behind the Tranny.. :twisted:
