Myself and others will certainly enjoy seeing the restoration photos.
As when I have added content, once the hourglass spinny thing loads the picture, click the insert button and photo will appear in the white square box, where the text is, if you do this and see the photo in the white box, then it will post.
What I do is post one photo, them another.

Finally managed to add a few more photos of the restoration. All the parts were stripped down by hand, cleaned then applied two coats of etching primer, two coats of JD green enamel paint then finally two coats of 2k clear.
