price it very very carefully.

even using scrap wheels and hubs from a garage you'll end up spending the price of a decent second hand trailer.

rear hubs from many front wheel drive cars can be adapted to suit and you hook up the handbrake cables for braking. you're as well off to buy proper trailer springs, they're not expensive and will actually be up for the job.

dont do it unless you're going to do it right.
