Some fiddling about today....washed, scrubbed and jet washed the "new" trailer today.....I cleaned up some surface rust in the bed and painted it (and the wheel arches) with finest Lidl's Metal Paint that I have had on the shelf for about 5 years ....I think it looks OK for a trailer that has been sitting in a field for years.

Now where can I get some custom Wire Wheels for it !

Some in-garage work started, I have decided to address the delaminating (and distorting) dash vent on the drivers side....this decided to "rise" off the metal substrate (arching up along the gap) and dislodge the clip in vent cover.
It has some "spring" in this arch (it was about 5cm high in the center) so I have forced clamps in along the shaped edge and used a cut section from an old V6 Cam-belt to spread the load evenly & prevent any indents forming in the soft foam backed dash material.
The glass is very close/angled so the access for my fat hands was a struggle but the spring clamps reach over the metal frame and pull the arch down....I hope it improves as it relaxes... I may pull it out into the sun for a few days.

I will leave it like this for some time to allow it to "relax", think up some method of securing the edges of the plastic firmly/resist "pull-off" and to research exactly what type of adhesive I will need.
