    Hi Aussie, :Welcome: aboard. Hope your Woody isn't to close to all that flooding, hate to see it become drift woody :( You can post pictures in the Gallery or Garage above. But you may need to reduce the size of your pictures first if they are to big. Some of the other, more experienced members will be along shortly to help you out with suggestions for the parts your looking for. Good day mate hope you enjoy the site :)

    Welcome Aussie. I'd love to see some pics of your Torino. We have a member who has done an incredible job restoring a '74, (I think it's a '74), Torino Squire but converted to a regular Torino to duplicate the one his dad owned back then. I'm sure he'll chime in and help you out.

    Welcome Mate! Sounds like you have a nice wagon to cruise the beaches in.
    For pictures, it might help to have an idea of what kind of images you're working with as well as info on your working knowledge of your computer and software. resizing images to 72 dpi is a good start. I use photoshop and tend to resize all images to 100 dpi, and no more that 8" at their widest. another theory is the widest dimension being less than 900 pixels. Most pictures sized to around 7.5 x 11 inches at 72 dpi will be a very manageable
    image size and should load very quickly. Another tool is a hosting sight , like Photobucket, which is free for the basic package. you then copy and past using the "IMG" code at the bottom of the drop down menu on your image's window. Copy the IMG
    code and paste it in the window on the forum. The jpeg upload on this forum is very straight forward, just follow the directions in the image gallery you wish to create.
    Another option that works well is the "Go Advanced" feature on the "Reply" window
    (right of the Post Quick Reply toggle). There is an attachments toggle in the tool box at the top near the middle. This one is easy as pie. Mmmmmmmmm,.... Pie!

    Hope that helps, I'm off on a walk about now, have a good one!

    Welcome, Pete!
    Love to have you Aussies and New Zealanders here. You guys have some interesting wagons. Post up some pics of that Torino Squire. IMO, that was one of the better-looking Squires that Ford made

    I don't seem to recall any 'woodie' Australian wagons....
