Paying 100 bucks a year for solid private hosting is what I do...

plus you get neat personal domain e-mail and other crap that I don't know how to use.


all the images for all my updateless threads are live.

I use TinyPic and have since like 2011. I have no idea why nobody uses it... Every pic I've ever posted on any forum is still live, and it's all free. I have over 600 images hosted too

You could add ~original after the file extension (. Jpg) in the address. Probably a short term fix.

What a pitty!
You're absolutely right not paying them any cent!

Hello guys. Been some days that i was ready to update my build threads of all the cars, when I logged in to my threads, and saw all my pics gone missing. I thought i had gone overboard with bandwidth, but then I also remembered, that i have a premium account, so that doesnt happen. Long story short, I figured out what PhotoBucket had done.

So, currently, more than 8-9 years of build threads are useless. All that work and effort is lost.
And what is more, Photobucket gave us NO warning, nor did they send their thoughts on this change whatsoever.

I accept paying for using one's services. I dont accept being bullied into doing it, in such a non-professional way.

I cant tell right now how I will continue blogging my build threads, but i wil definitely WONT be paying photobucket not 400, but not even a single cent.

Cheers

Mike

I don't know any Greek swearing words, but I can imagine that a lot of them will be heard from your workshop when you put the dash back into place... (aiming at the cage)

So managed to put some time into the car.

Sadly the dashboard support got lost somewhere, and i had to source another one. It was not cheap at all in the dealership, and every single i found in the greek jankyards was either thrown away with the chassis, or bent from crashes.

Luckily ebay is our friend, and found this in germany, hoping it would be ok



Received the big box



Parts seemed like new to be honest









This is how i had left it, was curious to see if it would go in with the cage in place



had a hard time with these two studs, but it went in







Then I noticed this part on my original center console support was like this, i dont really remember why to be honest



Removed it



German overengineering at its best



installed the one that was included in my order



Dont even know if we are gonna use this, or go custom center console, since radio and ac are off the car either way



Center "feet" installed too



these were not used, so if anyone wants them let me know



these too



Does anyone where this bracket goes ?



I know it is for the storage tray support, but dont recall where. Must find my ELSA files otherwise



Even installed this vent



I might give the dashboard a try to see how it sits



Left it like this for now



Cheers guys

[DiegoMasid13]

Wow, nice build dude.

[mgpdoc]

I love this build.

Thank you very much, really appreciate it. Likewise, your builds are interesting to say the least.

Updaaaaaaates.

Well, sadly i havent had time to spend on this car, mostly due to work at the clinic, and new MSc stuff etc etc. But I must make time, I know.

If anyone has a good tip on Viper rear diff, let me know

Any updates?

So my friend Thanos, got to fabricating the new modified subframe mounts. The plan was to replicate the 034 mounts, but in steel, and make them bigger to be able to weld the chassis bar on them, like a strut brace.

So...





Original one





Steel part to being with



This will enter the subframe



Side by side





All done





Now need to find a bar.

And then move to fabricating a modified trasmission mount from scratch.

Cheers

Mike
