Photo Gallery???

[Joelove]

Hi all, I'm a newbie and I'm going to start my build very soon.
Been looking for a bit of inspiration on here but finding it hard to track down pictures of your creations!

I was thinking it would be good to have a gallery section where everyone uploads there pic's. Loads of thumbnails that can be viewed full page once clicked?

Just an idea, tell me to piss off if you want but what do you think?

Cheers Joe :)

You speak with forked tounge newbie. Good ideas are not allowed on here like, a list of tried and tested suppliers, a rewrite of the iva manual to a roadster specific version to save headaches, a section on whats available and stuff that works, workable engine/gearbox combos, a picture gallery of finished cars and so on.

So there:p

A good idea as I have seen some shocking stuff that needs to be shown so others don't go down that road and end up with a turd on wheels

You could always start a new thread and ask each member to upload one photo of their build that is no larger than a certain size that displays easily within the forum window, then as they progress they can edit their entry to remove the old photo and upload a new one to replace it, this way its always show the latest photo only. If it become popular it could become a sticky?

Welcome to the forum. Dont worry there a lots of friendly people here who will help you with your build! lots of people have photobucket/flickr accounts so you can look at their build diaries etc.

Are you thinking about going down the sierra or mx5 route?

There is such a thread (http://www.haynes.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=4393). However it hasn't been updated since may last year.

A picture thread would be a good idea with one single picture from each person and no chatter.

Sierra I think, also thinking of putting the R1 engine in, thoughts?
Got a friend on here that is half way through his.

Got a zx9r engine in mine. Works a treat, done about 2000 miles so far and not a hiccup............touch wood :)

I would say an R1 will work a treat :D

Got my bike licence but got a kiddie now so the Mrs won't let me have a bike so thought this would be the next best thing

Good idea, would be nice for a gallery to but under its own heading in its own section but this is a start, I'll start it off and see how it goes:)

Welcome to the forum Joe :)

The photo gallery is a great idea, its very difficult to have a new section created, but as per Spikehaus,s idea of a dedicated thread is a good way around it.

I,ll make the photo gallery thread you have started into a "sticky", as previously mentioned, for it only to be for members "PHOTOS" & maybe a description of the build (donor type/engine install etc ) by the member who posts his build photo.

To ensure the thread stays on track ( ie photo gallery ), any other posts that are added for example...asking questions will be removed / moved to an alternative section within the forum.
