You need to click on the pic you want to upload it then gives you a list of links I think it's the bottom 1 you need it should say img at the beginning then copy that link then paste it on here if that makes any sense to you

Click the IMG code on the right when looking at your photobucket

It will say 'copied'

no I just wanted to do it as its a low mileage tidy car I thought it deserved it. I actually like restoring cars in my spare time.i am probably going to sell it when its done want another mk2 escort rs2000 be a shame though as I think you would struggle to find another as good
