Restoring Scrap: Utility Trailer Edition Part 4 - Fixing a Rusted Frame! Cut, Weld & Restore

UTILITY TRAILER RESTORATION | SCRAP PILE RESCUE | BEGINNER WELDING | REBUILD PROJECT | HOW-TO | DIY | HOMESTEADING

Part 4 of my Utility Trailer Restoration is here—and it’s a solid transformation!
Today I tackle the trailer frame itself: blasting off debris with a power washer, cutting out rusted-through metal with the angle grinder, and fabricating fresh steel patches to weld into place. I’m still a beginner at welding and metal fabrication, so you’ll see the REAL process—mistakes, fixes, and satisfying progress.

This episode takes the trailer one step closer to being ready to haul, and the before-and-after on the frame is seriously worth watching.

In this video:
✔ Power washing the trailer frame
✔ Cutting out rusted metal sections
✔ Measuring and cutting replacement steel bar
✔ Beginner welding to repair rust damage
✔ Prepping the frame for priming and paint
✔ Major progress toward bringing this old trailer back to life

If you enjoy DIY projects, metalwork, power tools, welding for beginners, or full restoration builds, you’ll love this episode.

Subscribe and follow the series—next up: final grinding, priming, and paint!
