@paulme33

the engine had been reconditioned but had lost the drive teeth on the timing gear. the internals were spot on.

the engine has since been replaced with a 2.8 capri engine with a higher lift cam. at the moment its on ramps in the garage while i fit a single suck through turbo onto it. should make for a lively drive

pointless comment.............

ive had the car for 18 years,why would i buy a different one to restore.? 2 door models impossible to find in the uk and i dont like em anyway.

also, who said it was bad ass??? its a family car not a 1/4 mile toy.

its a 1982 ford granada 2.3 gl.

music was uplifted from youtube as mine breeched copyright

head light lens are cheap and available on ebay,take all the seats,centre consol and undo the trim along the door edges. carpet then lifts out. 1 hour max to remove

WHY! ugh... why would u waist ur time with a 4 door!? there is nuthing badass about a 4 door grociery getter.

What kind of Granada is that? It kinda looks like a '79 Fairmount.

It definitely has an '80's styling to it.

Good job, but get shut of the stupid music - it ruins your video completely.
