If you're on a computer (rather than a phone) then hit "more reply options" at the bottom and there's an uploader.

Choose file from your PC, upload, repeat. You can insert them into the post at appropriate points, but if you don't then they all just appear in the post anyway.

thats very cool to hear!

 

I was worried someone might end up chopping up whats left of the body work, whats the plan for the front end exactly? do you plan to bond onto whats left of the front bulkhead or is the plan to make the entire front body section from scratch?

 

while not an engine I am aware of a gearbox assembly that showed up on ebay a while back https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/113331072439 I dont think it sold, so it might be worth asking the seller what happened to it

If you stick around (which you really should, with a fleet like that), you'll find out soon enough.
