It looks like it's going to look hideous when done but I don't know if you'll be able to tell when you bury the foot in.

I think that is going to be one hell of a Granada.
I also think it will look cool. I like it. Just the level of engineering work gone into that is truly astounding and who cares if it will be toasted by a 206 on the track.

Granada is european cortina, it is what a TE/TF cortina is derived from, almost same car except for front and rear lights and trim. Can also get two door version (still a sedan but just with two doors)

Granada was not a Cortina it is the continuation of the Zephyr Mk 1 /Mk2/Mk3?Mk4 and on to Granada Just a name change
Like Cortina changed to Sierra and to Mondial 3 inches bigger all round than a Cortina and about 3 inches smaller than an XD by the way the only things that fit an XD/Granada are the headlights and door handles 10 years back I went to the UK and looked at buying a Granada Ghia 86 model it was just an EA hatchback to look at but had everything sunroof 4 speed auto the old Capri 3 litre but with EFI and IRS at the back all for 600 pounds about $1200 back in 1997 John |

Hmm. And to think someone posted, in another thread, that "The UK is the home of the small 4cyl buzz box"

the fabrication on that is just sexual. There are no words to describe the work that this machine has.
