there are a couple of options. It's much easier to do it on a desktop though. You can attach pictures through the website when you make a post (hit Go Advanced) in the reply box. When you get to the advanced page, there are options below the text box, one of them says Manage Attachments. That's where you can attach a picture.

The other option is to host the pictures on a website and take the link to the pictures and paste them into the "Insert Picture" icon above the text box

Body and paint wise it is in really good shape. But it has been sitting for over 5 years so all the rubber bushings are shot. Shocks and struts are garbage going to have to replace the rotors. Exhaust was jacklegged all the hangers were removed and what is on there is rusting out. But all that being said there is plenty of room for upgrades. Starting with new A arms lowering springs and control arms. Lol

Very nice looking ride for a 14 year old car. It definately has a lot of potential. Good luck on your updates.

Thanks guys. Its for sure a work in progress. Got lucky with the body and interior being in pretty much excellent shape. The car had been sitting under a oak tree for the last 5 years so the suspension is pretty much shot. All the bushings have dry rotted away shocks and struts are trash.

They are the stock wheels. I don't particularly like them. Lol
