    Jack

    Congratulations Jack old boy. :whistle:
  3. I can only echo what others have said re the powdercoat/paint issue. Paint is really the only way to go. Just my 2 cents.
  4. RIP Felix. A great bloke, always thanked you for bringing a vehicle and handed out free tea vouchers.

    You can buy from the blurb site. You will have to sign up much like any other place, or I can order for you. Post is around £3.50 I think. Thanks

    Thanks Mark. You can get codes to post into web pages or blogs. I made my own as you see in my sig. You can also send links to people from the blurb site. There's a post to the web option that posts your book to Facebook , delicious, digg, stumblupon, google bookmarks or reddit. Other than that it's just word of mouth. I've just been peddling it, not very successfully :cry: on various forums.

    Book

    It took a while but I finally gave myself permission.:-D So here's a few pictures, You'll have to excuse the blur, got a bit of a shaky hand. The title is very slightly off centre, but not really noticable. Binding is good. Nothing's come loose yet. I used various layouts for the pages and they've all come out well. No problem with any of the pictures or text.
  9. Oops. See Below for pic.

    Book

    I got my copy today and I'm well pleased. Very well packaged so no damage in transit. I chose to have the premium paper which makes the book a bit dearer but I think it's worth it. 1 or 2 pictures look a little darker in the book than they did on the screen but it's no big deal and out of 140 odd I can't complain.
  11. If you know the size have a look here. http://www.lincon.co.uk/classic_car_batteries.html I used to know the correct size but I've lost the info. :blush:

    It's a great way to record you restorations. Some people have photo albums on display, a book would look great.

    The software is easy to use. Download the free software, install and away you go. There's plenty of layouts to choose from depending on the type and size of book you want. You add or remove pages as you go and you can have different layouts on each page. Prices are set by Blurb depending on the size of book, the amount of pages and if you choose premium paper but then you can add an amount you want to make per book. You can make different amounts on paperbacks, dust jacket and hardback styles or keep it the same. The amount is entirely up to you. When you upload your first book you have to buy one copy to keep it on the site. The books are printed in the US and the Netherlands. Shipping for mine was under £4 normal price but I paid £12 express as I want it quick to see what it looks like. I expect it around the 16th. I know of some that arrived in a few days and one I ordered off a friend came within a week. I think the first one probably takes a bit longer due to set up or something. It's a great idea, and definately something Richard and CW should do for their trips. I'm sure I could arrange that. Anyone else? :rofl:

    Book

    Here's a great site where anybody can make there own book. It's quite simple but takes a fair amount of time to get things laid out how you want. I made a book on my jeep. It's not an in depth jobbie, more a brief record of my own restoration. Have a look at the preview and see what you think. Click Here You can buy a copy if you want and make me rich. :cool2: If I sell 100,000 copies I'll be moving.:-D
