Very nice. My first car was a mk4 2.0 Was a GL but upgraded to ghia with bits from the local breakers yard.  Any story on the aussie one pictured? Curious about the 5 stud hubs. |

No, sadly not mine.
Pics stolen from google, I just have a soft spot for stuff like this.

Your Granada covers 25 odd years, so its hard to pin point a model. Yep, we made "Falcons" here during the same years. The collectors here now are anything from the XK (1969) to XC (76 i think). Rust is still a problem here. Not so much as you guys, but being written off due to high speed accidents seems to be the cause for premature disappearance. Ooooooh how I'd love to get my hands on an XB GT  If I did (which I probably never will), it absolutely would end up looking like this: www.aussiecoupes.com/max.htmlWas round my mate's yesterday and thought you might like a sneaky peep at this.   |

Perfectly positioned to flick your fag ash out without opening the side window & having it all blown over your best togs on the way to pick up the GF - happy days!   |

I love Imps, one of my favorite classic cars. Took my uncles scooter to MOT today in Belfast and I was sat beside a 328 GTS, 80's car with just over 4k on the clock.
