When posting a message, you'll see a box marked 'upload picture' underneath the text box. To upload a picture just click on the 'browse' button, find the relevant picture on your pc, and click on the 'preview' button. Your picture should then be attached to your draft message. If you want to post up more than one picture just follow the same procedure but click on the 'preview' button before uploading each picture. When you're happy with your message just press 'submit' and then we'll all be able to see your pictures :D

hello managed to get the arch finished,and the lower quarter pannel done,although i did need to let in a new strip of steel as the corrosion from a older repair was so bad. :D[frame]Image[/frame]
