hi dido and welcome to the forum
first of all i just want to tell you that you are one hell of a courageous guy - i don't think that a lot of members here (anyone?) would try to restore such a brutally rusted car. respect for that!!!
for the shrinking you can find a lot of websites for example
http://www.resizemypicture.com/?resize_multiple=1 or you might download a tool like the "windows power tools" (if you use windows xp).
best wishes from switzerland
mika

Yes it was fine. It was in late summer and everything was dry like in the south of romania too. I stayed in vama veche in romania, the old border to bulgaria. There is a villige called so. there are only rocker and party all day and all night at the black sea cost. It should be a trip for relax but after 5 days of wine and beer and party I was destroyed
But it was fine in Bulgaria. The people and the food is nearly the same as in Romania, just the language and the leters are different hahahhaa
