spiney_norman Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 you need to upload the image to a web based host service, such as http://www.photobucket.com or http://www.uploadit.org to name but two.You'll need to register first but both are free for simple image hosting, though you can upgrade to do other things for a small fee.Once registered you can begin uploading images Note the "URL" box with it's text (highlighted). Copy this text (left click and drag to select all the text, right click -> copy or CTRL-C). In Uploadit, you get a list. Click the list and copy the http address from the new window.On to the forum, you have two options. You can simply paste the http address and post a link to your picture. Anyone who wants to see it will need to click the address. This is good if you want to post a lot of imagesIf you want to display the actual image, use the "img" tags:http://premium1.uplo...hotobucket4.JPGThat's all there is to it. As you may have figured, you don't actually post a picture but point the forum software to a net address which it converts into an actual picture.

tony g Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Anyone found out where this is yet? Nope not here If people were more forthcoming with info they might get more interest. The difference of a £200 travelling bill can make the difference in making an offer sometimes. Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manta88 Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 The car is in Saffron Walden,it was on here about 3 1/2 years ago , me and a mate went to look at it and the owner wanted £1500.00 then. From what i can remember it requires a complete restoration and at the time was not for me.I remember we had it running but it had been off the road for a long time and was looking abit tired,if any one wants any more info you can pm me.

toni1 Posted June 1, 2013 Author Share Posted June 1, 2013 The car is now out , put some fresh fuel in and a battery and would you believe it just started up at the first turn of the key crazy, anyway i will post some pictures over the weekend but just to recap the body work is very solid apart from the both rear quarter panels, the rear lower sections are rusted through but you can buy repair sections. Front wings & doors are great just some very minor rust spots,Both front jacking point are gone and passenger floor needs some welding the rear floors & jacking points look ok, passenger sill has minor rust but saveable drives side look ok. The does drive but have no brakes, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
