Rather than trying to remember how to post pictures I just host mine on Flickr and paste the link for the chosen size picture where I want it to be. Much easier for us mnemonically challenged people.

It looks like you're trying to "link" them (via [IMG] tags) straight off your computer.

You can't do that.

You need a (pic) hosting site, like Flickr or Photobucket...
Upload / dump the pics in there, and grab the links which allow you to cut&paste into here...

started cleaning up the interior. all faded plastic pieces have been re sprayed with SEM color coat. color I used is graphite. it matched the rest of the interior perfect.

carpet was all faded and stained very bad. I bought automotive carpet die. took a lot of cleaning and prep work before I could even start dying. its been dyed twice. will hit it one more time before I put the seats in.

the last of the weather seals I needed. every weather seal that is available from the dealer has been bought.

budfc3s · 08-07-2015, 09:06 PM

so I have a few sets of tail lights. not in the best of shape. was going to take them apart and clean everything and then build one nice set out of 3. my issue is the rubber molding that goes around the edge of the lens are all dry rotted and cracked. searched for awhile and came across a set of lights on ebay Australia. they are used and have been in storage for 15 years. have not seen day light in 15 years. they were pricey but when I got them they were perfect. rubber is still brand new.

That was a really nice find. Those are very hard to find in that kind of shape. It is looking awesome.

i also found a brand new tail light still in the box on ebay Australia. i forget which side but it was going for a little more then the pair that i bought. if they had both lights new in the box i would of bought them
