Title: Before and After Pictures of your rides
Post by: Dasfusca on November 12, 2011, 09:15:16 am

This subject is an Idea that I had after doing my 1963 project pictures.  
I'll start it with my 1972 Convertible.  I paid $550 for this car and a parts car back in 1989.
Now you post pictures of your VW's before and after pics

Thank you.  But not enough VW money on the east coast.  The other problem is that I, like John G, take way too long on my restorations.  When I retire I will either work at a marina or a VW shop.  Someone has to open one first.  Who wants to gamble everything, has lots of time and Money to open a real VW Restoration shop here in NJ?  Oh...it needs to be successful too!

Put your before pics up then add the after when you are done.

open a photo bucket or Picasomething account.  Then you can post.  Jack, Shawn and Glen helped me.

Rich, If you click on a single picture in your album, it will open to enlarge as one picture.  On the right you will see a box that says  "links".  Click on the one that says "IMG code" and you'll see it says "copied".   

Now when you go to your SJVWC blank "post reply" page, you can just right click your mouse/cursor and click "paste."  It will say  "IMGxxxxxxxxxIMG" , hit reply if you're done with your post,   and then the picture should display in your post.




If I'm wrong, feel free to correct me please!  lol

Thank you for your help in coping the picture. The problem is I only know how to copy and post one picture at a time.
I had the trike from 1972. I put it in back of the garage for the next 36 years before desiding what to do with it.
