You need to Resize them in Photobucket, or whatever host you are using, or before you load them in with the camera/photo software on your PC.

I usually set them to 800 x 600 or one size bigger.

For the ones you have posted already you will need to resize them, edit our posts, removing the links you have in and then post the new link for the smaller pic.

the 2 of us went out today to do a bit more on the boys 914 , after doing the hell hole behind the fire wall on the ps , cutting out the panel to get access to the panel behind cut out any rot that was there and worked me way back , then put the original panel back on . so i decided to check the other side , it was not to bad , this is where the bonnet pull goes through, , first i took this of then cut out the offending panel , hovered out all the leaves and crapp behind it then painted the inside with stone chip , when this was dry i replaced the rot with a new panel and bonnett pull bracket , i also cut out most of the rear floor and repaced that to dolling the floor supports back into it , i then coated the rear boot floor with primer followed by seamer all around the seams and repair panels followed buy 3 good coats of stone chip , when these were drying i skimmed up the panels and downed tools the boys was never as glad lol owen nw colm :incheek:

spent all day doing body work , not that there is much in the line of filling , more in prep , doing each panel then going over it again , etc , now ready to spot prime

the whole under side and under each wheel arch has now been coated in 3 generous coats of stone chip paint

brushed in between the wing and scuttle panel with rust treatment and primer then masked all both panel and injected so seam sealer along it s edge , then wet my finger and pulled allong the seam sealer to give a nice tidy bead
