Guys,
On the old thread we had a few people put there hand up and offer to donate there time and Purchase bits.
We will add to this list as soon as we realise anything else is needed.
The Trailer is as Joe said a Hilux Ute Tray complete with Ute Linner as Donated by Dave. We have an old trailer frame (Thanks Micheal) that will donate the Axel and springs etc and hopefully all the bearings and the like are still serviceable.
As far as we can tell so far we require a few things to complete it. Most of which Joe has mentioned already.
# Trailer Hitch
# Tralier wiring cable (Mos)
# Trailer Plug (Suggested 7 Pin Flat) (Mos)
# Steel for the new frame work (estimated cost of $100)
# New lenses would be nice but the tray has lights so they will be ok to start with (I think ! )
# Someone to Weld (Dave)
# wheels and tires are unsure until we collect the frame !
# swiveling Jocky whell would be awesome as well !
# Many hands to assist in putting it all together
If someone has offered to donate a part there name will be beside it on the list above.
The steel itself is being ordered tomorrow but we are looking for people to help cover the cost of it. Donations of any value would be much appreciated.
The tray will also require some mino Panel beating and Painting. Signwriting for the back would be great but may be asking a tad too much !

What a day !
Pics are coming I should have them emailed to Max in the next 48 hours. (Work is really busy).
I would like to thank everyone that came a helped out tho, Firstly Joe for organising it all and letting us demolish his front yard for the day and then the rest of the guys who came and helped.
Josh
Josh
Dave
Sam
Micheal
Luke
Karl
Mos
Steve
Grear
and me
I'd also like to thank the people who have donated to help provide the bits we needed.
Dave for the Ute tray and welding
Micheal for the Tralier axel, springs and Hubs,
Joe for the new Trailer Hitch and rego label holder
Mos for the Trailer Wireing and Plug
Karl for some Dollars towards the Steel
Rod (Me) for the Wheels and Tyres
Tina for some Dollars towards the steel and the new U bolts
We are still accepting dollars to cover the cost of the steel. (still about $80 short)
And we are finding out what is needed for rego. Otherwise its pretty much done with just a few small jobs remaining.
Oh and if anyone can donate some panelbeating skills it would be greatly appreciated one side does need to be repaired.
Oh and Daves Boss for unknowingly donating the new tailligfhts (Dave borrowed them out of his trailer !!!  )
Appologies to anyone I missed help or doantion wise it was such a busy day its all kinda a blur.

Id just like to say a big well done to all those who were there! (sorry my own appearance was brief at best and totally un-helpfull ) but especially a thank you to Mr Sparks and his side kick Melt Down Boy (i.e Dave and Rod respectively)
I have to say theres nothing better than seeing something as basic as a trailer getting a real bout of Toy-Mod fever...go the custom axles!!!! 
Great work guys..I especailly loved the roll over in to the tree pics!
