Traveller restoration.

Hello my name is Samuel I live up in the far north up in Shetland, I am fairly new to the Morris minor world. Although I do not actually own my own Morris yet I am currently repairing a Morris traveller for my wife's grandad. I thought it was time to join up to this forum and get some pictures up to share with you all. This forum will be great for getting tips and asking questions. Would also like to show what I am doing to make sure it all looks as tho it's being done right. I will start with the few pictures I have at the start. I have a lot more of it now but not to many at the begining due to losing a lot when swapping phones.
Hope you have time to look through it[frame]Image[/frame]

Welcome, and do you mean this way up?[frame]Image[/frame]
You have probably used a "smart phone" to take the picture - they always seem to store the images upside-down.
Upload the picture to your computer and then, using a photo viewer software, rotate the image through 180 degrees - then save it. Use that image to upload to the website.
If you have a "windows" computer, then I can tell you what to do - if a MAC, then I'll have to find out from my daughter.
Regards, George.

I have been playing around trying to upload pictures and have eventually gotten it to work. I also found a few earlier pictures saved to my laptop so its a bonus i guess

but now i have been workign with it every spare chance i get so it has come ahead alot now . (finally)
