The first is inspirational! The second, tragic.

Ive already posted my transformations, as youve seen in the other topic. Wish i had pictures of my first HQ. Took it from rusted out surfers car with one working headlight, one brake light and NOTHING else... to a rusted out ex surfers car with strong motor, redone suspension, full working electrics and polished jellybeans.

Trouble is, pics couldnt tell that tale :-)

GTS/4..308/Auto/Factory Air. Purr-Pull
Bought my baby in March 87 with 32000 gen ks on the clock.
Unfortunately due to money problems had to sell her in 1991. The day she left home

Bought her back again in 1994 "Trashed"
The guy was driving it around with a broken stearing column, all that was holding it together was the shaft.





How she looks today..75000ks





Cheers

Hey AndrewSS you will need to upload the picture to Photobucket or similar site that hosts pictures..Most are free.

Once you have done that choose the insert image button on the posting toolbar and you will get....(img)(/img)
On the site you have uploaded your picture to it will give you several codes like...(direct link)
http://i129.photobucket....conebob/blueqright2.jpg
insert that code in between the (img)PUT HERE(/img)
and you should be done.

Cheers

Hi Andrew.
To post images here, you have to have a account at somewhere like the groups account at photobucket.
You upload the picture to that account and then copy the image code from the picture then paste it here.
Then the image will show up.
If you want a hand to set one up a account let me know and I will help you do one or if you want to post a picture just let me know
and I will stick it up for you.
Is this the one you wanted of the GTS.


Cheers Paul.

Thanks Paul
Thats the exact photo. I will get you to show me later how to do that.
Thanks boys for the comments, all that is left is an aerial and to get the suspension right at the front as it sits a bit too high for my liking. I started it up the other day as I have not driven it for about 6 months the poor thing. GTS I love the dress rings it really sets the car off I reckon.

Would you believe the guy/drugie/**** I sold it too had anger issues.
He put his fist through the front window..Slammed the drivers door shattering the glass, pounded and yanked on the wheel till he broke the column and the wheel..Backed into a pole..Hit a tree with the left hand rear quarter and had it "BOGGED UP" 6cm in places.. Grrrrrr! Shagged the 336 diff..lucky a bit of grinding and double shimming the side gears fixed that.
