One last request for help and assistance to get us off the ground is two-fold and concerns two seperate areas of our community that both need helping along... Our Forums
We need a few areas of our forums better used and portraied in which i am sure many could help to move us on a bit:
Build Guides
Firstly many like myself are currently building, re-building or renovating our rides so why not start a Build Guide in the suitably named forum and let us all see in bit by bit format in word and image what your up to, sharing your tricks, ideas and such with the group, whilst keeping a lasting portrail off your rise from worx van to custom, weekend camper or otherwise a very worthwhile area to spend your time in and on...
Simply start with some images of what your version looked like when you got it, then write a bit about it in post 1, post 2 detail in word and image what you are doing, and go on in each different stage untill completed or otherwise, building quickly into a great source of insperation for would be builders and convertors, where possible state the tools required, costs and stockists, along with skill levels required and how long each stage took and any other details, tips, tricks etc you learnt along the way....
How To's
Much as above really many are undertaking several operations, adaptions, replacements and custom work now the weather is better!!!! so why not derive a "How To" from your experiences to help future owners out of those tight spots you then found yourself in when doing whatever it was you completed large or small operations welcomed from a normal service to a custom install, interior, exterior mechanical or accessory all "How To's" are welcomed...
Start one today you never know when it might come in useful to someone else [wouldn't it off been great had a "How To" off been available on the thing you got stuck with???]
So come on guys get storing these images and write a bit about each step of the way helping the whole community as you do so
Format is simple take as many images of the procedure as possible take notes as you go to remind you of what step is what, then from image one go through writing a bit on each to the end, it really couldnt be simplier number your images or set it all out on a word doc and transfer it to the How To forum when completed not forgetting to add what tools were required, how long it took, what skill level is required and costs [where and at what cost parts are available].
Other Areas
Our T4-T5 Sales and Wants area is a bit slow when its offering FREE advertising to all members for all T4 -T5 related and other goods to sell seek etc please feel free to make full use of these areas which helps our search engine rankings as these areas are indexed so when they change so does our ratings
