Trailer Rehab Project

As if I don't have enough going on to fill every waking moment, I have a winter project to rehab an unknown make/model motorcycle cargo trailer. Friend at work bought it at an estate sale for $125 a year ago, and after deciding it could be salvaged, I gave him what he paid for it.
I'm working out my path forward, but the first step will be to replace the wheel bearings and mount some new tires so I can move it around on it's own recognizance instead of riding on my utility trailer; then:

The bumpers and trim will be coming off-
- new rear bumper leaving the front tubing trim off.
- remove wood trim on top (may not be replaced with same)
Minor fiberglass repairs and paint to match Lucille's Candy Cardinal Red.
Sandblast and re-paint the frame.
Re-wire electrical replacing ancient stuff with LEDs all around
Determine in I can move up to 12" wheels/tires


The license plates expired in '94 so it has been sitting for quite a while. I will be checking with the Delphi MC Trailer towing forum hoping somebody can help me ID the make & vintage. If anybody has clues to answer those questions, let me know.
