Default Ford Granada Project?

Looks really bad on first glance, but underside looks good, and can't see much rot except some patches on the sills.

Not even a proper Granada, had a gold one years ago always wanted a 2.8 this estate but settled on a go saloon, not many left now.

2.0litre Pinto is an easy engine to work on and as long as the cam spray bar is replaced can do mega mileage. Not the most powerful of engine especially in Auto form.

Are spares available for this project? Ford usually bin a lot of stuff once it reaches its 10years old

Depends on your plans. If it is going to be a keeper personaly I would find a 2.8.

I know where there's a better one in better spec for less money.
