 :Welcome:  fort.
 
    We love restoration stories, please continue. As you can see we also love pictures,
Instructions are on the home page on how to resize. They need to be under 1 mg.

  I also have an S2 with an extra crossflow on the workstand.

  Love the mirrors.😍
 Very clean car. Engine pics next please.
 
   If you have an apple iPhone or a Samsung go to your pictures and select the one or ones you want to share, however mail them to yourself, it will ask what size , pick a choice below 1.0 mb
 Then open and save them in your photos , they are now resized to attach here . Afterwords you can go back and delete them or they’ll show up in your duplicate folder. It’s up to you.

Rack has rack extensions and mounts are aluminium set to minimise bump steer. I noticed a marked difference in ride and drivability. Mounts are drilled align with T mount holes.
