Well Im not too sure how to resize them. I can resize photos which I have taken but for some reason it wont let me do others.

To get the photos to display on the message board like I did for you, all you need to do is copy and paste the link thats in the "IMG Code for Forums & Message Boards" box into the text of one of these messages.

Basically if you click the link that you set up http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=s47w3q&s=4 there is some links on the left hand side...thats the one to copy and paste

Now that looks like my kind of car.
I was gona do a twin turbo conversion on a 24 valve cosi engine and drop it in a focus but I may be swayed by a ford v8 engine instead.

hi it has a tremec 5 spd,reason i used this engine is because it has only been run for an hour ,guy had 30k in it 1000bhp was not enough for him he know has 2000bhp ,and this motor has all the best bits in it ,and i got it at right price
