Great to see the article in the spotlight on the manufacture of steel wings. Would be a boost to all those restoring vehicles if this was successful.

4 door saloon arrived today. More rust on in and generally worst condition that I thought. Most have been looking at it through rose tinted glasses. Seller brought his own battery and temp fuel tank to get it running. The guys were quite inventive , there is no radiator, assume the engine has no coolant, no ignition switch, they have a switch taken from house electric that you would use for your room lights. I was surprised how well the engine sounded

Upload the images to a service like photobucket and LINK the images into your posts .. that way you can have HD images and any size.

Create an account, upload the image(s), click on the IMG link (auto copies) and paste it into your forum post(s). For example:

I would increase the photo size, but then I can see our website disk space vanishing overnight and I have lots plans for that!!
