i have loads more photos but had trouble uploading them, it would only let me upload 4 or 5.

You should convert them to .jpg files first, then you can upload them easier.

.bmp files are uncompressed, so they take up a huge amount of space relative to the amount of image data they can hold. It creates an unnecessary burden for your internet connection to upload.

www.photobucket.com is your friend. I linked up hundreds of photos for the forum to look over while I was shopping for my z

How does the engine run?

My major issue with external hosts for images is that they tend to not last. Take a look at the forum - there are a lot of threads with useful information dating back up to 10 years. A Photobucket account only lasts as long as the owner continues to use it.

Once the account dies (or in the case of private hosting, the owner gets tired of paying hosting fees or registration fees), then all the images are gone forever, and we're left with a thread with a bunch of broken links.

If the images are properly added to the forum and stored along with the rest of the thread data, this will not be a problem.

ok i will repost the thread with jpeg files, thanks.

No need for a second thread on the same topic, so I merged them into one thread.

Thanks Arne.

Looks pretty sweet, question is though how much does he want for it? Would you have to ship it to Ireland or is it already there?

The rust doesn't look to bad you could probably just Por-15 over it (with prep) and call it good but I'm far from an expert on rust.

The engine looks like it has been taken care of, in the sense the owner took the time to paint the valve cover and install K and N filters. How does it run though?

This car has some serious rust issues waiting to erupt like the Iceland volcano! The bubbling on the door, the bad bondo work on the front fender and rocker panel, the rear hatch, the rust popping through the frame rails in the engine compartment and the lower rear valance are all potential tips of the iceberg. The sunroof is a rust collecting area also. Real cheap, it could be a driver for awhile as the bondo falls off and the bubbles pop around you. Take a look at the inner fenders for repair work to the sheet metal.

Better yet, clink on the link on my signature to get an idea of where to look for rust.
