Is that a mk1 granada? So is it a restoration project? Custom? Banger?

Yes it is a mk1 granada, its to far gone on the pillars etc, it is now going to be raced, its a shame because all the floors there.

Are you going to document the race-preparation for us on here? That'd be really interesting!

Naa I'm not that cruel, i bought it in that state, it had been sat down a small road for years than sat on a banger pile for 2 years, i would love to have a mk1 for me 1st car but insurance would be mega? and there is the other fact that i wouldnt be able to park it as it would get chored.

It wouldnt be cruel, it would be intersting to see how it looked by the time it was ready, the car deserves a proper thread so lets see it develop....Much as I cant imagine, under normal circumstances, anything more painful to watch than the destruction of a Mk1 Granada, in this case, if its as rotten and far gone as you say it is then it either gets painted up and goes for one last thrash or goes straight in the crusher, whats to lose? Just do us a favour and give it a decent paint job and send it out with a bit of dignity, none of this pink sh*t!

ATM i race a ORC class called ministox, for 11-16 years olds when I'm 16 (july 2008) i will be racing it maybe nt july but some were near there as it is a big step from a fwd 1000cc restricted mini so would be good to get some experince under my belt before taking it onto the track, i also have a stripped mk2 estate with a mullard (spelling) roof, i will be using that 1st but I'm on the look out for 2.8 engine and box as it has a 2.8 diff in. My dad also has a black mk2 saloon clean had it for 16 years, I'm 14 and i went to hostpital ( on the way to be born) in it wich is pretty cool, that will never fopefully hit the track!

Its gonna be around for a bit yet, then, so lets give it a proper thread, starting with some decent pics...Its the only Mk1 Granada on here....

I've had a few Mk1 Grannys so if this one is truly knackered then a detailed thread could be cool. I know there's more science to building bangers than people think!

PS: Save the bumpers and trim if it's any good. People pay good money for that. Besides, I don't mind banger racing so much if they at least recycle trim, interior and glass to other caring owners!

My dad bought the car for me already stripped and with a roll cage in  , there is alot of work that has to go into a banger, people think we just smash cars up for the joy of it, there is a lot of skill going into it like the wiring loom, you don't run them on the key!, welding, putting bolts in the corect places, getting hold of engines etc, there is alot of money going into building these. Heres another pic of it.   |
