Posting photos from I phone

Hi, sorry I know it's probably been asked before but I can't see a thread. I'd like to post photos from my phone to my restoration thread,this may take it from the mundane to the semi interesting for some! I'd like to get some photos up though!
Thanks
Nige

Apologies for the slow progress hopefully the chalky will be going for filling and paint in the next few weeks! Been busy with the other Cars in the garage, as requested some Alfa pics which I'm attempting to paint with my mate! The chalky progress would be faster but got a bit excited at auction an...

It is a tad pricey Rob, I don't think its a go-er as he wont let my brother that lives 130 miles away view it so negotiations are off! The two montreals are the reason for the slow progress on the chally Those and the lotus type 61 and TVR chimaera , lotus élan and xk120,Indian 741 I've just restor...

Thank you for all of the encouraging support! There have been some tough times wondering whether I'd get it all square and rolling right not to mention all of the faffing with the panel fit! I've always known the project would be tough and not one to make money on! Hence why there are two Alfa v8s i...

Some progress at last, there's a big chunk missing as I broke my phone! Floors are in at last. Transmission tunnel repaired and in, lots of hammering and beating the arches and wings to get them to fit with the doors, roof cleaned and repaired and ready for on, cowl welded back on with all of the fr...

The passenger side arch fitted fine after some hammering, although the holes didn't line up as the original. The trunk floor was about an inch short too. I'm not sure what the tolerances in the factory were but we have the rear chassis to within 2mm of the drawing, going to have to get some frame co...

Yes, borrowed the jig and it has come in very handy so far.

Guy, the grille is off my '35 Buick and will hopefully go back on one day, that's another project I have, currently having some woodwork fitted, but has taken a back seat whilst every other project I have gets done unfortunately.

Can't wait to get the engine in and running for the first time although just seeing it sit on wheels and all of the panels fitting would be great!! The car even has rust up inside the sides of the roof and other strange places where mice have carried insulation to make beds, which has held moisture ...
