This 33-year-old Ford Sierra Cosworth is set to fetch a cool £100k at auction because it’s claimed to be ‘the best one in the UK’ of only 500 ever made. We only have to take a look into our archives and current competitions to see that Fords are becoming increasingly popular. Earlier this year we […]
Our 1989 Ford Granada has now successfully been completed. Peter has given her one last clean before she heads back to Ipswich. The sills have now been replaced, the rot has now been taken away and all other aspects of the MOT failure have been addressed. You’ll be seeing her at shows next season…
The final work to be completed on our 1989 Ford Granada project is to prepare and under-seal the underside. This will help to prolong the life of the car and give extra protection to the areas most exposed to the UK roads. The wheels have now been aligned, the MOT has been a success and […]
Work is almost complete on the refit and welding of our 1989 Ford Granada sills. The sills are brand new and have been a fantastic purchase for us. Buying pre-made sills has saved Tommy a huge amount of time and effort. Without them, he would have had to re-shape the metalwork to replicate the Granada’s […]
It has been a tough few days and Tommy has been working solidly but we have now successfully fitted up the new sills. Still a bit of work to go before we can carry out the paintwork but we have made fantastic progress up to now.
Tommy has now started to remove the worst affected areas to the nearside sills. Only by removing can you see the full extent of work required. Patching up may be a short term solution and may help to get the car through an MOT successfully but rust spreads and just by hiding it underneath something […]
Due to a recent MOT failure we have our 1989 Ford Granada in our workshops for some necessary repair works to both the inner and outer sills. The majority of the corrosion issues can be found on the nearside with only a little work to be carried out to the offside.
We’ve now signed off our 1989 Ford Granada. This was work that was needed to carry her through an MOT. As she had been sitting around for some time she had suffered the effects of the ever changing UK weather. The suspension component mountings, where they had corroded have now been repaired. It was also […]
Our 1989 Ford Granada is now in paint. Once completed and settled we’ll be able to assess any further works that need to be carried out. Once we are happy that all jobs have been completed to our satisfaction she’ll be ready to go home.
Here we have the latest images of our 1989 Ford Granada, sitting in primer ready for the respray to start. The body has been perfected and the rust that had started to come through has been cut out and replaced. Won’t be long now til she’s back on the roads!
Work is finally underway on our 1989 Ford Granada. With the car now stripped, the body is currently in our paint shop being prepared ready for a coat of primer before the full respray.
Having been with it’s current family for many years ,our 1989 Ford Granada initially came in for some welding work to be carried out on the sills, in a view to get her back on the road with a new MOT. Unfortunately the sills were in desperate need of some attention along with some smaller […]
