Having just got my chimaera, i hope and plan to make her a beauty over the coming season. She is booked in for january for a new interior, and then i hpe to dress the engine.

So, lets see your engine, and what have you done to glory the V8 looks up a bit?

Had that feeling myself, seems the 'Griff' boys are a little more welcoming as far as modifications are concerned. Some on here see tidying up an engine bay as sacrilege, [ignorance seems bliss]I do not. Will be only too pleased to post up my 'effort' if someone can help. DAVID H WHERE ARE YOU? [I'm better at polishing than posting]

I'm planning on doing the same when the rest is sorted (left it till last as it's the least viewed bit)! So any tips would be helpful also here! I'm scared of touching it if I'm honest incase it doen't start after, it's been good as gold since I got it

My first plan is to de-cat and buy the shiney manifold off that V8 enhancements company, they have some nice prettifull bits for Chims and Griffs

If you meant me then I hope this helps,

You need to do is create a free account at www.photobucket.com (or similar) Click on the middle tag that says 'My Album'

The uploader is on that page. Click on the browse button next to the top box and find the pictures you want to upload on your PC. Select your first picture and then do the same action in the next box down until you have selected all the pictures you want to upload. Then click on the 'Upload' button

This will upload the pictures you want to post into your album.

When the picture(s) you want are on their site you will see thumbnails of all your pictures. You will see four boxes with HTML code below the image(s) you have uploaded.

(Left)Click on the bottom box with the label IMG Code and it will select the code, then come to the forum and paste the code into a 'Post Reply' box (either right click>paste or Ctrl> V)

That will create a link to your picture and it will be visble once you post or use the 'Preview'button.
