bigdaz27 Posted November 29, 2015 Report Posted November 29, 2015 Well I've not had an old ford for about five years, divorce bankruptcy plus a few other personal problems, about a year ago I thought I would like an old ford again but I just couldn't quite stretch to anything decent but I did manage to buy a series one sd1 rover v8 in brown with 37k I got the car bloody cheep as it had been sat in a garage for 15 years, so I got it running and driving and sold it last week and made just over a grand so now I'm a little closer to my dream of getting behind the wheel of an old ford, so I sold a lap top to and I've just brought this a 1982 mk2 Granada 2.8gl it's not perfect but it's never been welded and it has an mot, and I love it, I do need to fit rear seat belts tho asap so if anyone knows what car I can get them from that would be a great help, here's some photos, 1
mk2 tony Posted November 29, 2015 Report Posted November 29, 2015 good work fella Granada looks cool.
NeilT Posted December 1, 2015 Report Posted December 1, 2015 welcome back love the look for the granny
irishtorag Posted December 1, 2015 Report Posted December 1, 2015 seat belts from a mk2 fiesta or even a mk4 escort would do just grand for it love the car
bigdaz27 Posted December 1, 2015 Author Report Posted December 1, 2015 Just been in the loft and found my mk2 granny Haynes manual and there's all the info I need about fitting rear seat belts lol,
Danish Posted December 2, 2015 Report Posted December 2, 2015 Yup, nice SD1. I used to have a 2600 but it was a complete crock, but it looked nice. I hanker after a 3.5 but keep resisting.
skeeter Posted December 2, 2015 Report Posted December 2, 2015 When I was a student I owned a 3500s SD1 which dropped a valve and ended up hurting my wallet an awful lot!
Haynesmanual Posted December 3, 2015 Report Posted December 3, 2015 My dad had an early sd1 3500 in brown when I was a kid. I was cleaning it for some pocket money and managed to knock it out of park. It rolled across the road and through the neighbors garage!
bigdaz27 Posted December 4, 2015 Author Report Posted December 4, 2015 It is a pretty cool car and does sound cool with the v8, been looking over the Granada lots to keep me busy for a while,
