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'

Right click and paste directly into your post.

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

Where did you get your new fuel and brake lines from cos I've gotta put a new chassis rail section in the rear of mine and want to do a resto of the underneath at the same time
