Discussion

There is a French guy on Facebook that makes lightweight bonetts,doors and boot lids for coupes.

Give me a shout if you want his details.

We look forward to seeing it Mike!
Fibreglass bonnets might catch on too....

So , I have opened a photo bucket account, but how do I link it or put any pic's up please. Thanks

There is a guide in coupe related chat section. About the 5 th subject down from the top of the thread list.

Can anybody explain the how to regarding putting up pics, for the life of me I can't do it!!

Upload your pic to a website such as photobucket.

Under each pic you want to upload to the forum select the "direct link" option and copy it.

On and above the forum reply screen tap the 4th icon from the left, a blue rectangle, which will be reveal "image popper".

Tap, then paste in your link in the box when requested.

My cat "chunk" helping out, quite surprised at the state of some parts, but when I think of the rust we used to cut out of mk1 and 2 escorts it's not too bad.

Mike, press Quote to see how this is done simply with square brackets and imgpop

Lights out and holes filled in, more filling to do before I can use it as the model.

Abandoned That's an understatement!

Main hoop for cage in place, I will order the front and rear bars later on and weld it all in place

May i suggest some chassis strengthening, because IMHO Coupe chassis is a bit too weak.....remove as much weight as you can from front end of the car.....
