Wow great result... Dave and I have identical plans for our Wells Auto Wagon. It’s a 1998 we bought with about 1500 miles on it a handful of years ago. Bought it from a retired NCRS guy who showed his solid axel Vette for a few years and then just parked the trailer. We did wheels and tires, brakes, seals, backing plates, bearings and added a healthy winch, deep cycle battery that gets charged from a switch off the new wiring harness (with hidden kill for safety), and tied it up to the electric tongue. We capped off phase 1 with locking cabinets and new LED lights inside and out, a new brake away battery and welded mounting bars for the safety chains.

The next step is hit the cosmetics which we can’t seem to find any time for... goal is to paint the floor, add diamond plate on the floor, and if we can muster the energy, replace the rivets on the exterior. How long did it take? Looking for any insights and tech tips!

Great work!

Dan,
The exterior screws took a few days(may 2008). The most recent work was spread out over two weeks. I had the cabinets for 3 years, got them from a guy who rents in our shop. They were a perfect application for the trailer, small and with a lock bar to keep the drawers closed.
Going to source LED lighting from an RV dealer.
Already had the winch from day one and added the electric tongue jack 5 years ago.
Post photos of your progress.
