I have been building cars and bikes , and parts for cars and bikes ,for some time but i am new to forums, so here goes. I have a small machine shop and fabricated an aluminum body, steel tube chassis roadster of my own design, from scratch, over the last four years. I have also redone a 1929 101 Indian motorcycle. ( I'll add photos if thats proper etiquette ) . Now my son and I have nearly completed a 92 240sx coupe (engine, transmission,wiring harness, dash, and rear diff swap from a 2008 350Z. ) It has been about 2 years fabricating etc. I can post pictures of most of the fabricating for the swap. It includes redoing the interior as well, including headliner, dash, seatbelts etc. We also fabricated our own coilover conversion pieces. I am also going to sell parts leftover from the 350Z donor car including wheels,brakes,seats,steering rack,muffler etc.if there is any interest. Let me know

Pics (as I tell all of my lady friends) are a must and always enjoyed. [ img]*image url here*[/img] is the tag to post pictures. Remove the space between the first bracket and img and of course, place the photobucket url in between the bracketed imgs (remove the asterisks and text)

Welcome to Nico! :bigthumb:

I also have a photobucket account, and they make linking images to forums easy.

Move your mouse pointer over the picture you want to share. You will then be presented with a drop down menu below the picture. The one at the bottom of that list is called "IMG Code"

Now move your mouse pointer to the link next to this, and left (not right) click your mouse.
This will copy the img url.

Now, post a reply to this thread, then right click the reply window, and select "Paste"
You can do this for as many photos as you like (there might be a limit to how many you can fit into one post, but it's a lot!)
Hit submit and let us enjoy your handiwork. :biggrin:

You are about the age of my son
... guess i'm getting old
question for you
is it difficult to build a build thread and post a batch of pics
I've got hundreds of build photos... we've done all of the work ourselves
so we took a a lot.

It'll involved a lot copy and pasting of image links, but yes it's possible!

You can start one over at the 240sx forums:
240sx-180sx-silvia-forum.html

Looks like a fantastic build.
I look forward to more pictures. :D
