1984 Granada BOA; a little bit of progress 8/6/24

Ooo very nice. whereabouts are you & what sort of money you thinking ?

hell yeah

I'm gagging for more information and photos of the build

More pics please. Love a mk2 Granada.
My dad used to drive us miles in his old 2.3L. Got a soft spot for the mk2's.

Awsum! Mk2's just look soo right sat on granada cosworth wheels, lovely car mate :-)

Yip more pics please. Its looking good.

well, i suppose a little history wouldnt hurt

got the old wagon years ago now (12years i think ), from a car auction.
the car as it was didnt sell, as the big end bearings were shot and the engine obviously noisy as hell. not what auctioners are looking for
managed to bag it for the pricely sum of £30, and drove it home ;D

a trip to the breakers to get a new heart for the ole girl for a ton (and collected in the back of my k10 micra ), overhauled the brakes and took it to work for its 1st mot in my ownership, which it passed

managed 4 track events so far in it, and a current best of 15.7s at Santa Pod with the autobox and dodgy fuelling ;D

Damn, I interpreted that first post as a for sale one too!

Cool car!

thank you very much ;D
current spec is
+1mm over bore (now 2995cc)
Wossner forged pistons
H section rods
tubular manifolds and twin 2inch exhaust
slightly ported heads (by myself, so not sure if they are better )
and the Emerald ecu which is currently only on a basic map and limited to 5000rpm ;D

still running the mk3 granada 4speed auto box too, despite what the nay sayers think, its been 100% faultless

i do have an interior shot, shall get some others uploaded tonight and of the engine bay too

thanks nadaman ;D
not found the autobox to be weak yet, and it has been up the pod and several trackdays at Brands and survived perfectly so far

well, last thursday whilst having a nosey underneath I thought I ought to take a look at this

hmm, wonder what else is in there

and the expanding foam that was in there
