Can't wait to see this back together! 8)

I don't know why more members don't just upload their pics here as an attachment?

Are the pictures happening to everyone? I logged out of shop talk like I was a guest and this is what my view looks like Image

I don’t know. Thanks to photobucket hosting, 95% of this thread is gone and no we can see any of the pics.

Literally can’t understand why anyone would use photobucket when no one can see the pics, and it’s so easy to upload a pic to this site directly from your phone.

There’s some great info here, and it’s a terrible shame that it’s all gone now.

It's not all gone for one. And for two photobucket was the only way to get stuff done around here back in the day. I'll upload/edit what I can working my way back from page 24 down. My early posts make me cringe lol

I've been with Photobucket for over 12 years. I bought the cheapest 20 gig storage about 3-4 years ago and they have kept me on it even though they did threaten to drop me once.....I emailed them and said I had just paid for a second year and expected them to hold to the year long contract. They did and then continued the same contract for the next 2 years.
I have my whole build history on PB so I pay to keep the pics active along with sending STF money every year to keep this site up. It's a small price to pay to have something to go back on if I need to look up my build.

Exactly 😎 glad to see this site has direct uploads now though. I've got some posts edited already.

Pictures look fine to me. I downloaded a plug in for Chrome long ago, haven't had a problem since.

What is that fitting in the side of your sump? It looks like someone welded a bung there.

Turbo drains into that - you can see one or two pages back.

Just spent the morning going thru this whole thread again.
A great build for sure.

Have you gotten some miles on the thing?
Doing these radical conversion/fabrication projects there’s always plenty to learn.

They say shakedown and chasing gremlins can be 20-25% of total build time on a project like this.
