Re: Back on the Granny coupe.

I would love a Granada Coupe,the UK was lucky to get them,as most were marketed for Europe. I don't know how many exist in the UK.
In Europe,they got the Cortina/Taunus with a similar bodyshell

Re: What classic vehicles have you seen?

Spotted a Riley RM at Tescos in Middleton/Chadderton. Not too sure if it was an A or B. Spoke to the owner briefly,and it had been restored 25 years ago.

Re: speed camera detector

I never watch for speed cameras. But I do know what the speed limit is and how fast I'm going at all times. No points ever in 23 years of driving (12 of those as a full time lorry driver). ;) Superb answer,additionally the speedo is a good detector. Not all speed cameras are yellow. There are those...

POR-15?

Anyone use POR-15 out of a tin?
I find that lid lip becomes buckled,having opened it many times and fails to seal. I lost about 1/8th of paint as it dried up. On the newly purchased tin I'll be making sure the lid and tin rim is cleaned,and the lip bent back

I had the same problem and moding the shaft aswell.
That seems the correct direction. But will see if the rear driveshaft tripod on Ford parts catalogue will match
