G'day Roy,
Welcome to the forum!!

The best way I've found to post pics is like this:
1) Open two new browser windows, one for your forum post and one at PhotoBucket.  (See links in the top-most message).  Start a new topic or reply to an existing one as appropriate in the "forum" window, and write your message that will have the pictures attached.  
2) You will need to log in and/or register with PhotoBucket if you have not done this already.  The registration process is straightforward - very like the process here.  Enter your username, a password, an email address and a few other details.  You'll receive an email with a link that will activate your new PhotoBucket account.  Once the account is activated, log in and follow the links until you arrive at the "Add Pictures" page.  
3) Create a new Album.  Albums allow you to organise your images into groups, rather than just one huge mess of pictures.  For best results, keep album names short and avoid spaces and special characters. Click the Album name to select it.  
4) Click the "Choose File" button.  Find your local file, using the standard dialog box and select it.  If you are uploading a batch of files, you can choose how many from the pull-down menu and select them all in the same manner.  
5) Click the "Submit" button. Once the image(s) complete(s) uploading, the page will refresh to let you know, and the message "* pictures added!" will appear.  
6) Repeat steps 4 & 5 as necessary.  Once you've finished uploading, scroll down the page to see your image(s).  
7) Below each image, you'll see a box labelled "Img".  Select all the text in that box (which should look like [ IMG ]http://photobucket.com/XxXx/yourname/youralbum/yourpic.jpg[ /IMG ] ) and copy it.  
Switch back to your FE-FC Forum browser window.  Position the cursor in your message where you want the image to appear, and paste it in.  

This information can be found under the Real Cars- Members' Photo Album in the "How to upload images to the forum".

Hope this helps  ;)

Cheers,
Jake

Nice looking car, and a trick set of number plates also.  Which part of Qld are you in?  Welcome to the forum.

 Thanks guys your comments are appreciated ;D
 
  Glenn; don't know a lot of the history but from what I know it started life in Ipswich Q.L.D and I'm the fourth owner and it has spent it's life in the western part of  brisbane so almost rust free but needs painting, polished off.

 Tayz; probably just a tidy up at the moment and use as a club car.

 Rusty: At least it has 1 thing in it's favour it's 2 tone undercoat.

 Shayne; Laidley Q.L.D got plates from Q.L.D transport no problems. Will be joinig Q.L.D. club
                          Cheers Roy

  Hi All ;D
      Thanks  for the kind words;
  Alex ; not much to do at all for rego then she who must be obeid will never see me.

 Wayne ; Yes grey is a colour I agree and when the paint polishes off it doesn't look any different except the dark colour but when it's finished off with spats and venetians will look superb.
 
                   Cheers  Roy
