Hi

Following on from the fire and destruction of my original Sportster 7 I am rebuilding a car with many new changes and modifications based around a Lotus 7 inspired car.

Please come over and say hello and give me some feedback.

Thanks


James

Not wanting to put a downer on the thread but is Farcebook really the place for a build diary, I don't Farcebook and as a result can't view...,

Have you tried clicking the link? I can view the page (though not comment obviously) even when logged out of facebook.

Don't intend to, don't do facebook, more important things to do than get bombarded with ads.

No one suggested that you "do" facebook, but for your information there are three ads on that facebook page when I'm logged in, and none when I'm not, two fewer than locostbuilders...
Do you never click links/go to youtube/google, watch tv, read newspapers to avoid the ads?

As soon as I click the link it takes me to a login page and I can't go any further

Yes, but Locosters is not 'logging' everything I do in order to give me ads for stuff they think I need!!

Regards facebook, I am not bothered what somebody had for dinner, that they went to the Park, how drunk they were and how little Jimmy now goes to the toilet on his own!

Sorry didn't mean to hijack your thread

Cheers, Nick

With reard the disks I will post some information on the over the next week or so when I clean them down. I did not do the conversion but it looks straight forward enough.

I have setup a shared iCloud photo store in case people do not have Facebook.

I will always add new pictures to it.
