Smile Photo Gallery???

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

Bob

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?

Build cost.... seems to be spending more on tools than car bits at the moment! (they will be handy in the future though).
Car iva'd and passed 15/08/2014. Finished weight 572kg.

There is such a thread. 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.
