Title: I've transformed my Coupe
Post by: Chris Hopkins on 28 March, 2020, 07:52:56 PM
Having retired from competing in Sprints and Hillclimbs I have given my favourite Fulvia an internal makeover, what do you think?  There are still a few external body bits to do, but I seem to have a bit of time just now, can't think why!!

Can someone please tell this old duffer what I can do to stop loading files which are the right way up before I transfer them, then they flip over after. ???

Hi Chris

Not so much an old duffer question really.

This has been mentioned previously I think. It appears that the phones etc ‘know’ which way round a photo is taken so display correctly on the phone etc. However when transferring to the forum it does not use that info, so just displays what it is in the raw orientation.

The solution is take 4 photos at each 90 degree orientation, upload to the forum and note which comes out correct. Then use that for future posts. An alternative is use your computer to reorientate it before posting.

Just realised no body has answered the first question.

I have given my favourite Fulvia an internal makeover, what do you think?

Uhhum David you obviously skipped the third post..... Chris, I had a black Fulvia 3 backin the day with violent orange interior. The car had to go. I think your trim colours are really nice - was that original or personal choice? Is that Brian Cates work?

Yes well spotted Tim, it was the set that Brian advertised in VL last year, so just lucky with the colour and very well made.
Thanks for rotating my picture Lightweight_911.
