Power window power seat car . Our plans are just to get it running , might touch up paint and polish the trim. This car is still in the states | ||

Born n raised jersey car in great shape. 66k original miles . I posted up your photos following the hints on posting photos that I wrote for this forum: http://www.forwardlook.net/forums/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=64340&... I am not sure why your photos don't automatically show up. It might be because they are all the same name and the forum program doesn't know what to make of it. You might want to consider using unique names for each photo, at the very least, Image1, Image2, Image 3, etc. I am now going to post your photos by right clicking on their image location/name info and inserting them into the img src="photoURL" protocol that I explained in the post above. | ||

That makes more sense (??!!) than my unique name suggestion. No actually, I think unique names, with .jpg at the end is the way to go. | ||

Expert 5K+ Posts: 9855 Location: Lower Mainland BC | None of those photos show up because the extension needs to be .jpg NOT .jpeg. I think this was mentioned before: imopar380 - 2017-01-23 9:53 PM You need to change the file names to . jpg instead of .jpeg and then they will show up | ||

Expert Posts: 2002 Location: Branson, MO | This is the correct seat material and SMS had in stock not too long ago. Door panels have the same material. SMS shipped it and we had it in a couple of weeks after our order was placed. Nice car and keep us posted with your progress.
