Is the price of scrap metal going up again?
Welcome to OOF
It's not uncommon for me to walk into a room and then wonder what I went in there for.]
Is this normal?
For a Shitreon, that sounds almost reasonable.When mine got damaged on the Big Black Pussy, 2nd hand were £800 and new were around £2kBeen quoted almost from dealers almost £450. [/highlight]they changed them from 2018 . I can find lots of pre 19,s .
So repaired with Chinky Takeaway containers and Sikaflex until I can acquire one at a sensible price.... ....and that was 3 or 4 years ago, and still unable to obtain one for a sensible price!
I had the same boot spoiler. It was ok until water got into the cracks in the foam and expanded when it froze in winter.If my memory of my brother-in-laws three MK2 2.8 Granada Ghia X’s is correct (he had two X’s and one X Executive), the standard Ghia X had flat leather (or cloth) and the X Executive had puffed up leather. The Executive seat looked like it had an additional topper and looked like someone had bolted a three piece suite in to the car and I always thought that it looked a bit overdone.
Each to their own though.
This clip shows what I mean regarding the original Executive Connelly Leather seats. Oh, and his zorst could do with being a big bigger as well. Turn the sound down as the reviewer gets on your tit. Nice restoration otherwise though.

She looked pretty good in 'Walkabout' too.Are you moving to Canada thenAfter you reach a 'certain age', they hammer you again.Relatively inexpensive insurance quotes above.
Being an old bastard can be a good thing at times.
Can't wait until I'm 34 and can get cheap insurance!
By the time I get to that stage they'll probably be routinely euthanising people of a 'certain age' so I won't have to worry about my car insurance.
No but our shiny new progressive Labour Govt will bring it in, and by the time I get to a certain age they'll be offering euthanasia as a cure for the common cold or anything that makes you a mild inconvenience.
In the film Logan's run the cut of point for 'termination' was 30 years. Although you did get the chance to bone Jenny Agutter first if luck was on your side.
