	Look's like a straight original car, very nice. Make sure and rustproof the bejeesus out of it if it hasn't already been done.

	done the front and they look like this they might be the original shockers anyway i have changed them,the backs are the same and snapped two bolts hold them down,so walked away,am off for 2 weeks over xmass,i will have to drill them out and retap them,just another set back thats all,and think its got weak coil spring one side sits bit highier so order 2 new ones,want it ready next year season,

	A brown and beige Mk1 Granada coupe. Ghia. With a brown Vinyl roof. That is almost as '70's as a prawn cocktail. Almost. But is is very slightly more awesome.

	a nice exhaust trim and a set of age correct style reg plates and that would be perfect.

	Very nice indeed, loving the wheel choice as well! Just be careful of the offset of them. mr on here had a set on his mk2, and they were a tad close to the rear arches

	Love the wheel choice, I can just imagine them with nice pale gold centres to match the interior.

	There is much better stuff than T cut nowadays. First start with a Meguires clay bar kit (from halfrauds) and clay bar the whole car - make sure its very clean first. Then use waffle pads and go over the car with something like Farecla G10 or 3M Finesse it, it will shine up much faster that T cut and it's water soluble so nicer to use. T cut has ammonia in it and is not great for the paint. I'd then recommend a good wax like this one to keep it shiny. PS, lovely car.
