So this weekend in the rain I decided to checkout the notch a little more
Ended up taking all the fenders off to check what lays underneath and to my surprise not to bad hopefully next week I will be able to treat it to some rust inhibitor and then the fun begins

I intend to flat it down and spray a coat of clear coat and redo the window rubbers.

I work for a seal co and we sell a range of lubricants, penetrants and degreasers that are far better(in my opinion) than the stuff you get in the shops
It is called Trans tec and Rust tec Both come in 5l
(the above just sounds so wrong) :wink:

Well that is very simple actually, let's get a basic description with a few steps down.

Ok so you have a pic or 5 that you want to upload to the forum but don't know where to start so let's get a few basic pointers out of the way.. (For the purpose of this excercise we will be using photostand as our test bench)

Your image may not be more than 1mb, should you have any bitmap (bmp) images it's best to re-save these as jpeg due to size.

Right so now it's off to http://www.photostand.co.za - you do not even need to register an account with them (downside to this is you won't find links to your pics again but the upside is you could always search the forum and get the link that way)

Ok now you're on the home page and see the following:


Image

Here you click on the "browse" button (I find that it always works under the classic tab, not so much for me under the drag & drop tab) and locate your stored images, once found click on the "Open" and then click the "Start Uploading" button below the image lines.

Image
Image

The last and easiest step is to simply copy and paste the URL link (highlighted on pic) into the forum and voila you have action!!

Finish it off by hitting the submit button..

Thanks Mello

I have just googled your Cape Town branch and I have found I can throw stones on their roof from my office. :)

I will pay them a visit soon.
