Photo****et has ruined many a forum with this change in use. It wouldn't have been so bad if there had been more info on it so people had a chance to take action. I've binned them off now and use imgur.
 
As some of you may know I've got a 1976 series 3 diesel which I got off my granddad. At long last now comes the time when we can actually start work on it. I'll post the before pics on here (I know they're on another thread but this'll keep it consistent...I hope). This will hopefully turn out to be my first car and our aim is to rebuild it so its sort of like a bespoke one the factory may have made for a paying customer (e.g. better interior and the like). Its got a 2/5 N/A diesel fitted which I'll keep and we're going to fit power steering to it.

Hi
How do I get to see the photobucket images please? I don’t really want to have to pay out a subscription to see them
 
You don't get to see the pics anymore unless they get uploaded to another hosting site. It's not you that has to pay it is the person that uploads the images, there a loads of ruined forums out there now thanks to photobucket.
 
My restoration thread has suffered the same fate.
I had loads of photos and it was developing into quite a nice story.
I still have the photos saved elsewhere but just don't have the time to reinstate them all.
Now I just use the 'Upload a file' button which is on the bottom right when you are replying to a post.
It's hard to organise them and they seem to upload in a big lump so you can't get any text between them but at least they are there.
 
One day I'll transfer my photos over to imgur and get it back up on here. Photobuckets pretty much killed a few forums
 
What a great thread and amazing to see so many detailed pics of the restoration. Thanks for sharing it. Inspiring stuff.
 
Photobucket pic's will now show again. If no paid subscription they will have their logo embedded in the pic. You can leave yer account as the free option but can't upload more pics to them if over the max pic limit.

After removing the rear drop plate we discovered the only major bit of rot on the entire chassis which was lurking behind it

I’ve some new series high back seats that I bought for my Defender that I could sell for £200, dimples on them are simply from storage and will come out on their own.
