Default Anyone got a Mk3 Granada 2.9 they don't want? - 05-17-2007 , 09:21 AM






or one they're selling?

MOT would be nice but isn't essential, need a Mk3 that drives well but is
ideally scruffy with a good engine / box / diff.

87-92 (non cat) would be perfect.

Cash waiting for the right one (maybe need more than one..)

Sounds like quite a sensible project IMO
If Pete's involved, it won't be *that* sensible.

Knowing Pete, he'll buy the wrong Grandad and end up with a Twinker
engine instead of a Pinto then wonder why the fuck it won't fit.

If he got either, it'd be one helluva cockup, since he explicitly states he
wants a 2.9...

So you missed "engine/box/diff" in the original post, too?

Goes well....
