Thumbs up Strapless huh?

Hey Branca,

1st Question:
Did you paint the real plastic panels? If so with what? and How?

I have a mint 85 SE that needs a liitle touch up for the rear panels.

2nd Question:
Is that the stock carpet back there? Aftermarket? Or just from an interior repair type place?

3rd Question:
"How DID you post a pic without an attachment?" I am as curious as Mike P-28.

Thanks.

1. Yes, I went to an auto paint supply store and picked up a few cans of vinyl spray paint that were a fairly good match.
2. Not the stock carpet. I had an upholstery shop make me a custom piece from high grade automotive carpet with insulation backing and a matching vinyl edge surrounding it sewn on. The color actually matches better than the pic would indicate.

3. Well to post a pic w/out an attachment I know of two ways, first image link it to some free webspace where you have uploaded your pics, or second go to the test area 51 in this forum and attach your pic. Open the attachment to view it, then go to the address bar to copy and save the address of your opened attachment. Finally, insert the saved address with the IMG feature and voila! btw what color is your 85 SE, got any pics?

here's a pic from an attachment in the test area:



here's one from my free webspace:

Will have New pics soon..
The Good one is Grey with Grey cloth interior, just needs new carpet,
and a little vinyl touch up paint (Thanks)

Here's and old picture of it when I was shopping around for a new SE
She looks MUCH Better now..Even with the original paint..

(Ol' Attachment method)


The Parts one is Red with Burgandy, and is actually rebuildable, I just don't care to.. (it's for parts anyway)

I'll post some pics tomorrow in the daylight (my flash sucks).
Hopefully your method will be they way to post them.
