Trying to learn how to post pics...maybe this will work? If this gets posted twice, my apologies.

Car unloaded and no issues, really surprised at the small number of back ordered items.

Build plan as of today:
Levy Racing 306 with T5
Levy Power steering
Breeze roll bars (dual)
17" wheels
Heater
wipers
color- changes daily

Hoping for help from the forum....please!

Congrats! Edwardb suggested photobucket to me and I seems to work great. Are you starting a build thread?

Congrats on your new acquisition! I remember looking into the trailer to see that mine was the very last delivery. The black MKIII looked pretty lonely all the way forward in that dark trailer. The driver got to my house at 10 PM. Needless to say, it was not the best experience hauling the kit down the long dark driveway in the middle of the night. Hope your experience was more enjoyable. No matter how harrowing an experience though, it is still wonderful having it in you garage finally after all the waiting. I kept going out to the garage just to see if it was really there!

Good luck on your build.

WEK.

Welcome to the Brotherhood ! Now get building...;)

I find Photobucket has really gone downhill the last year. It has tons of pop up ad's, sometimes even switching you over to a different page. Flickr might be a better route to go.

I recommend imgur personally. its quick and simple.

Photobucket has really gone to **** over the past few years.

congrats on your new purchase :)

Tried photobucket and couldn't make it work. Problem is my laptop died and to economize (since I had just spent a load of money) I bought this chrome book and it doesn't have copy / paste, so unless I can work around these limits I may just have to post the file...will keep working at it. thanks for the input.

Ctrl + C (copy) and Ctrl + V (paste) should still work on a chromebook.

very close!

when you paste the URL you have to put IMG tags around it like so:

It will look like this:

Welcome to the forum. A great group of guys here to help you get the most out of your build. My wife chuckled when I read to her your color intention...changes daily.

I received my complete kit last Sept 2 and found help and ideas from forum members to be invaluable. Even when you get stuck, somebody will pull you out. Overall, one hell of a ride. And, I'm referring to the build. One hell of a ride in the car is a given.

let's try this?

After up-loading a picture to Pbucket, just click on the IMG link on the right of the picture, and it will say copied. Then paste it to your post, so the picture itself shows.

Jacob-

Congratulations on getting the kit! Welcome to the club. There are some great folks here, as other have mentioned.

Best of luck as you get started. Don't worry about asking questions. There's a pretty good chance that we all had similar questions ourselves!

Enjoy the journey!

Regards,

Steve

Congratulations - we're glad to help... that's why we hang out here (well, that and the free beer).

Hey, nobody told me about the free beer!! Oh well, Welcome to the insanity anyway! Feel free to ask questions. That's how a lot of us learned, and we are happy to help you if we can.

Congrats!!! I remember the day I picked mine up. Taking longer than I wanted to get it done as work and life has thrown up road blocks. Stay calm, walk away when frustrated and take things in small bites. Most of all have fun!!! I have been a car guy all my life and the build experience has been fantastic. Don't be afraid to throw out questions on the forums. The wealth of knowledge out there is unbelievable.
