I found this page very useful. It is essentially about getting an address between "[ img ]URL[ /img ]" The URL is the web address of the location of the image [img]. I also joined Photobucket before I started and have all of my images on that web bases photo storage in my own album.

Hey Steve
Looks like you have a nice solid van.
By the pics, progress does not look too bad.
Keep at it and keep the pics coming.

Hi all the colour is factory light blue,once I found out the right colour from dulux & ppg. The van will look original from the outside but the running gear will be black fuel injected VK motor with 5 speed which I have sitting in shed,but making it so I can easily convert it back to original running gear which I also have in shed. The next pictures hopefully will have commentary with them so I can show better shots.

 Still can't work out how to do 2 things at once(Leave photo and talkies) but think Ive got it nutted out now. Any way these photo's are of the subframe That I found from early repairs that were done by previous owner to ongoing repairs to the end result of a rust free subframe.

Looking good Steve. When you get your first photo between the "[ img ]URL[ /img ]" simply hit the enter key and you will be on the next line. You can then type some info and hit enter again and then place your next photo between the [img]url thingie.
