I towed the u-haul home on flat ground with it only 50km. Oil temps went super high immediatly and it blew the head gasket.
I feels your pain. I paid top dollar for a Westfallia utility trailer; and rather than have a bad experience with it on the Interstate I rented a similar-sized open top trailer to put it in. My Squareback VW made the trip but it was never the same until an engine rebuild. Shoulda gone with a dolly.

Rather than worrying about water under the bridge, move forward and make notes for the next one you build. Torsion bars etc. From where you are now, fix the front by following this lead: http://ecomodder.com/forum/member-he...117-154543.jpg Search term 'jukebox.
