3 months in 11 minutes

In this video I restore my 1976 boler 1300. It is a fiberglass trailer originally designed in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. It needed work when I got it, but last year the frame broke, so I decided it was finally time to make it look nice! I took the month of June off and worked on this full time. The majority of the work was completed in June, but of course I didn't finish everything I wanted to, so some of this footage is from July and August as well. This video is not a how-to video, it is just a bit of entertainment, so I hope you sit back and enjoy.

I have made some how-to content on some of the projects for this trailer and you can find them in this playlist:    • Boler Projects  

A special thank you to those that helped me with this project.
My dad for helping to repair the fiberglass and paint.
Arek for the use of his garage, for welding and helping out when needed.
Nigel for holding wrenches when I couldn't reach.
my neighbour Garnet for helping to line up the frame.
And of course my wife Abbey for letting me putter around in the shop for the majority of the month of June and helping me install the windows before it started raining!
