Have you thought about joining a photosharing site so you can attach links for the larger photos? It is really much easier than attaching them individually here, and the pics of your hard work is easier to see.. LOL

i can view them here ok and people can flick through them as if it was a photoalbum , once you have clicked a image like the first one you can then click next ... next ..... next and it will show them in a slideshow then .
only downside is non members cannot view images on this forum but all should work fine does here this end for me

i could host them on my server and link the images one by one but will show massive unless i scale them down

Looking at it from the other side, your build thread, now up to 36 pages, takes up a massive amount of forum bandwidth and space. The scrolling can get a bit tedious too, especially when the same view is posted, but from several different angles. Having said that, I do like large pictures..........

i have been meaning to add a few pictures to show some more progress , nearly ready for the bodyshop i have booked it in for the 1st of june yup more money spending lol all worth it tho .

it will bring everything together of course i will add images before and after so you all can see the difference at the fun stage for now i have got 98% ready , cleaned and painted with a barrier ( one more coat needed ) - ready for the color coded "white " paint quard or i may go standard black but it is in the good stuff i have used not the cheap nasty sticky stuff which i have taken off the car overall it had done its job but areas where the product had worn / lost its life rot had started to set in so with all that corrected now and one ugly duckling is turning into a soild pretty car again with plenty of life left in her

[QUOTE=1800necwinner;1406530]

another two areas will also be effected if you see my first and last photos on #1 post then you will see it rots in the top of door pillars , on the return areas going into the engine bay it has a oblng stroke rectangle panel most have had rot as a result of water getting in but cannot escape so sits in that place which is the internal area of bulkhead ( firewall ) i mentioned when you look up under dash in the corners .

Just checked my new 68 Estate I am recommissioning....all sound in this area, it would appear a prior owner was aware of this problem and drilled a drainage hole from it into the engine bay (phew)
