I just bought my first trailer yesterday and I am so excited to start fixing it up. It is an 82 Taylor 2 horse, and even though there are a lot of cosmetic things I want to work on, it is pretty much in working order. The tires do need to be replaced which I plan on doing immediately.

So anyway, I have a few questions that I'm having a hard time finding answers to online, so I thought I would join this forum and hopefully some of you can help me out.

My biggest concern right now is the windows on the sides. There is a track for windows already, but what I really want to do is put in more modern rounded windows like these http://www.easternmarine.com/horse-trailer-slider-window-48-x-15-curbside-4553hs4815cs. I'm guessing this could be a big job. I also found these http://www.easternmarine.com/radius-cornser-block-2-5-8-radius-318-98-a-b on the same website. I read somewhere else that they are used for fitting rounded windows in square spaces, but i can't for the life of me find any pictures or even written instructions on how they are istalled. Does anyone know how these work and if they would work for me?

Other than that, I plan on sanding and scraping the crap out of it. As you can see there is a lot of rust, but it is pretty much all cosmetic. Then hopefully a few new coats of paint. I also plan on removing and replacing most of the hardware. 

Here it is.
