She is beautiful
I've got many friends in the car scene and have been to a few car shows, but I want to do this car on my own. Being a female I'll probably get a fair bit of sarcasm but bring it on haha.
It would be nice to meet new people and get advice from this site.

Up load your pics from your puter or they have an app for the iphone. Once you have your pics uploaded on there, when you wish to put a pic in here with your post open a new tab on the puter browser to photobucket find the pic you want and click on it, look for the box that says IMG code not thumb as this will give you a small piccy. Click on the IMG code this should flash to yellow and say copied.
Go abck to the post your writing and then on a space under your writing for exampl right click to bring options up select paste. This will give you a line of letters and numbers. You can then go to the bottom of the page and select preview, which will shgoe you what the post will look like so you can adjust if you want. Or Make post which will send the post as it is.
Hope that helps.
cheers

needs a bit of work to the dash, the petrol gauge isnt working as it should, neither does the speedo… I also have an after market alarm thats stopped working, i know its not the battery as its still clicking on and off, thinking its the fuse but im not too sure how to change it as i dont want to blow anything up.
i also need a back window, glass or flexi?

i wanted to re spray a pearl white, but im thinking of keeping it original now. looks beautiful when shes had a clean, but the weather has destroyed it over the winter and i havent bothered where its just going to end up back at square 1 again.

NOOOOO, keep it origional… Why do you need a back window? These are glass, by the way. Faulty things on the clocks could be a poor connection or faulty fuel sender in the tank. Not sure about the speedo usual supect worn snapped cable or worm drive at the gear box end. You can check fuse by looking them, the wire bit in the middle should be ok and not have a gap. They are coloured coded, so if you find any that are blown then swap for the same colour.
Whats the make and model of the Alarm? there may be some info on it in any paperwork you got with the car. What's the actual issue with the alarm?
Hope that helps a bit.

Was very shiney! But not so much in this weather
I've also got a lovely new scratch on the back left hand side…. Looks like someone's scraped it with trousers/bag..?
Will a scratch remover thing get it out.. :/
You'll have to excuse my rubbish memory, I'm currently suffering from a serious concussion ha.

Depends how deep the scratch is - if it's through the top coat then only paint will make it disappear
