Trying Photos of my Hobby

Post by KalamazooJohnny »

This is my 77 spider. Yes, great progress has been made already. All new brakes, fuel system and lines, floors wheel wells, interior of trunk, new ignition running and driveable, but only around the yard for now. This is my first attempt at a photo:

What am I doing wrong?

Ok, I think I got it. This is my 80 fiat spider. Gutted the interior and now its waiting for its turn in the garage.

The photo needs to be hosted some where... then use the Img button to place the link to the photo between the img escape codes.

Great pics! I remember when my car looked just like your red one. I didn't think it would ever get put back together!

Yeah, I have said that to my wife a couple of times: "I'll never get it done". Fortunately she is very supportive and I know I just need to keep working at it. I'm not going for a show car, just something nice for us to cruise around in. I'll just keep pluggin away. Seems like I learn something new just about every time I do something to it.

It eventually took us 10 years to get everything restored and it's been a joyful car to own. I'd do it all over again...but I don't think my husband would. :?
