Anyone know how to make images a smaller file size so that v3m will allow me to add them?
Re: Volvo 340 GL 1.7 Build Thread
Try using photobucket. Upload the images there and copy the link over. You can re-size the images to 640x300 or whatever to make them more reader friendly.

And some more:
Very happy with what i have got, only £600! Runs well with only 39K miles on the clock; full service history, comes with tax and mot and a full interior thats very clean! Only bad points are the reverse bulbs were blown and a few minor scratches on the rear quarter. Overall very pleased with what i have found, now cant wait to start the little project
