Register with someone like photobucket .com and upload your pics there.

then start a thread at the top are a row of buttons select img go to photobucket and beneath your image are a load of urls' click on the lower img one and it should come up copied. return to the thread and ctrl+V then select the img button at the top again et voila.... you have just posted a pic...

Hi Sittingonthedockofthe BAY,
You certainly win the prize for the longest user name :lol: :lol:

I think theres plenty of members without a van - you just need an interest in bays...

For your pics try this:

http://forum.earlybay.com/viewtopic.php?t=602

if you have any problems then PM me and I'll give you a hand...

Oh, and welcome to the forum - nice to have you here! 8)

 

[Danbury Doug]

Welcome!

I'm bayless at the moment. I've had two late bays, the next will be an early. 8)

welcome aboard matey,i registered about three months ago and bought my 69 tin top last weekend!! took a while to find the right one! :lol: :lol: look forward to pics.

 

[CJ70westy]

now way, i just sold my split for a bay too!! My mates thought I was crazy. It feels much safer, steering and braking are loads better. I think early bays are the best of the VW bus..

So it was this one here then the orange one 3rd one down? looks cool and a nice Dormobile roof too,which I think is the best roof of them all.

Does it even start now? Bad luck dude,hope you get it runnung soon.Recon engines start at about £495 for cheepies from a known company,without fitting etc though.

 

[Sittingonthedockofthe BAY]

Yep its the orange 1 roof in ex condition as is the inside,yep it starts but sounds terrible,the bloke i brought it off will go halfs with me anything up to £800 £400 each result....Rowan

Welcome Sit,

is it ok if i call you Sit? as your name is a bit of a keyboard full :lol: and im lazy.

 

[Wannabay]

and the ad says "excellent runner".....................

you're either unlucky or the seller wasn't telling all

If I was you, I'd see what the likely damage is before you agree to anything

 

[Sittingonthedockofthe BAY]

Yeah phoning t2d tomorow hopefully they can let me know whats what with the engine,and yep sit is fine lol...Rowan

 

[bayview]

Howdee, sorry to hear about the engine. I agree with Wannabay hold off agreeing anything until you know what's up - could have been brewing for a while resulting in previous owner wanting to get shot.

On another note, there seem to be quite a few former Split screen owners seeing the light at the moment. Never been into splits, all frills and no knickers (mind you like the sound of that :? )
