In June of this year i bought a 4cylinder gold manual 1986 SE, a few weeks later i bought a donor that is a 1987 SE 6 cyl auto. Ive been working on these cars for about a month and a half mostly dissasembling and cleaning parts. The 87 is almost completely stripped of the smaller things and body panels, I need to drop engine because its going into the other car. I need to have the car done by the time i get my license, hopefully late October. I will have many questions to ask, hopefully you all can help me starting with, How do i post pictures?

The red and blue tile at the bottom of the page links to Pennock's Image Poster ("PIP"). It is an FTP program, requires a windows-based machine, and has distinct limits on file size and image size. Hope this helps, sounds like you are about to be real busy. Good luck, and post all your questions and progress when you can.

Yes, a typcial cell phone camera picture will be much to large to upload with the PIP. Be prepared to shrink it down about 75% before the program will accept it.

generally, restorations and deadlines don't mix. Fieros seem to be a good example of that problem, with a lot of technology that was very new when the cars were built. You will get a lot of support here, but we may not be able to save you from your optimism.
