Colinj's Z1A1 rebuild

#1 PostAuthor: colinj » Tue May 26, 2009 9:44 am

Thanks for the fantastic welcome and offers of help, I am definately going to need some, if I can get this to load pictures (I'm no I.T. geek!) then you will see what I mean. This is my bike, in bits, I bought it in 1978 from a mate and then started to customise it a bit, then ran out of money, then had some money but no time, then joined up and spent 9 years all over the place, then got married, divorced, then married (yes, I know......) and have settled nicely into my own personal mid-life crisis (as far as my wife is concerned).
Anyhow, let's at least see Pandora's box shall we?

Hope that worked but if anyone has a better way of doing this so the images show let me know!

Right click on the picture you want to use.

Select "properties"

Copy the "Image properties" "Location".

In this case:

Gus,
thanks for that, couldn't figure why it wasn't showing on my post, guess this will take even longer trying to get up to speed on two new skills! :??

Pandoras 1st box revealed

#7 PostAuthor: colinj » Thu May 28, 2009 6:25 pm

So this is what I found in the 1st box, some of it is encouraging and some less so, seems this is going to take me a hell of a lot longer than I anticipated and probably cost more than I wanted, but....Hey-ho, Guys are you really wanting all these photos? I will have to keep them small to fit em in!
