I dont seem to be able to edit any earlier part of this thread to update the corrupt Photobucket photos :cry: :cry:

Taupe
A shame about that, this post has been an interesting and inspiring guide for many I believe.
So how are things progressing with the Traveller?
I, for one, would love to know how you are getting on, hopefully well??
Best wishes,
Mike.

Looking forward to seeing the pics finally :lol:

Dear God in Heaven - I just looked at the pics you've put back in the first post. No wonder people want them back to see - it was flipping horrendous!

All

I have been in contact with Neil MG. I am delighted to advise that he is willing to restore his photos too. :D :D :D :D

What a great Club we have. Neil MG and Taupe are willing to undertake all this extra work so that we can benefit from their skill. And our Webmaster is doing the work necessary to enable them to edit these old threads.

If you haven't seen these threads, I urge you to have a look. They are inspiring. (Neil will need some time to find his photos, but as you see above, Taupe has already started.)

I repeat my earlier remarks that these two certainly aren't the only examples on our messageboard of clever and skillful restoration work by members.

I am progressing editing to reinstate the lost photos and have reinstated photos up to page 4 so far.

It takes some time so please bear with me...

Taupe and Mike

I can't tell you how delighted I am to be able to view this thread again. It will certainly help me with my restorations. I know it will continue to be a valuable resource for many other Moggy restorers too.

Taupe. It hasn't escaped me the tedious nature of the work to fix this thread and the significant demand on your time. I just hope you can hold up until you get all the way to update 41.

Thanks
Don

Excellent! Are you still working on the Traveller, or are you planning to get to work on it in the near future?

All DIY restorers and those contemplating it.

I am delighted to report that Taupe has completed the mammoth task of restoring all his photos to this thread.

If you haven't browsed it before, I urge you to do so. It is amazing in so many (good) ways.

In my case, I have learned so much from Taupe's work and I am sure it will be the same for you.

Don
