Kev, you need to find somewhere to host your pictures first, maybe free webspace your internet provider may have given you, or sign up to something like photobucket.com or one of the similar places like imageshack etc etc. Then you uplaod the picture from your hardrive to the service, then they normally display the picture and below it an address within tags, [IMG] which needs to be copied into the post, making sure the IMG tags are either end of the address. That way the image will be shown.

Mick, the two tone wasn't working for me, the mud was making the Vesas look pants, and in general the whole car, looks completely different now!

MJ, I have actually cropped that pic in that exact way for a print out I did, but last night at silly o'clock I just posted them fresh from the camera!

Good looking car Pete! The rims are really something special.

Here are some recent pics of my car:

Cheers! I must say your engine bay looks clean! Very nice looking car, nice and tidy. With a bit of luck you'll be able to change your signature soon, I think I've got you a mirror!

That's good news about the mirror Pete

My engine bay was like this when i first bought the car, it's even cleaner right now

Just got the car running ok, so took it out to clean off the filth created by the builders next door, and thought I'd take some pictures.

Jobs to do:

Replace n/s front wing, front bumper and strip under grille.
Clean/repaint wheels and fit chrome trims.
Get rid of the flat spot that happens when I hit the accelerator.

Here's how it looks now:

Cheers, Ed

Looks lovely, one hell of a clean example - and well worth fixing up! Nice one

Not bad for £50, eh?

Nice one!

Makes me want to get a late Mk1/early Mk2 Vario

Nice pics, like it a lot. As Steve says, well worth spending a bit of time and effort sorting it out. Looks pretty clean and tidy, you had a bargain there!

Took some new pics. Nothing new in the car though but I just washed it so I took some quick pics..

Though it already got a bit dirty on a way from Shell to here. Roadsalt isn't nice.

I should wax it too but it's a bit too cold outside for waxing..

so nice to see it again in all its REDness

Shows up nicely against the white!

Fuse, nice pics! When did you swap the alloys for the pollux from a 400? Both the Mk2 GLT rims and the pollux look really good on that car.

Two or three months ago because those are my winter wheels.

I have studded tires on them. MK2 GLT rims are with my summer tires which I'll put on when snow and ice are gone. It's mandatory to use snow tires or studded tires from December 1st to the last day of February.
