kpnuts Posted June 5, 2020 Author Share Posted June 5, 2020 Hi all well I've made a big decision (I thought there was too much back end on it) so I've decided theres enough room for rear seats. There were lots of coach builders in those days and you could have it built anyway you liked if you had the money, so whose to say it wasnt like this. The only thing now I've bitten the bullet is should I stick with a single seat or go with a double and have I gone back far enough. https://i.postimg.cc/wMkXrxkz/IMG-3258.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/SxR6ZhY0/IMG-3261.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/YqbNf99f/IMG-3262.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/J7350KCF/IMG-3263.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/3JKCvpKx/IMG-3264.jpg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpnuts Posted June 5, 2020 Author Share Posted June 5, 2020 I used the direct link there but it didn't work, I hate the way you get used to a nice easy hosting site then it's gone and it's never easy again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The links are the same. I can also copy and paste your links as a block of text from your post, but they don't display initially, however if I hit enter at the end of each link they display immediately. Where you pasting each link in individually, or did you paste the links elsewhere and paste them into the post as a block? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go back to post 30 with your image links in, click on edit on the bottom row, then put your curser at the end of each link and click "enter" on the keyboard (or tap on it on your phone) see what happens, hopefully the pictures will appear.

It shouldn't delete anything, the curser should move down to the start of the next line, the photo should appear if the link is correct, or the link stays the same and you will get a blank line between it and the next link. The flickr photo's are showing ok, but most of them could do with rotating 90 degrees left for easier viewing The dickie seat in the back looks good, and the painting of the seat leather is excellent.
