I remember a J plate Mk4 Series 2 RS Turbo many years ago Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Spotted on the Granada Mk3 Faceache page. Ford launched the facelift Mk3 in 1992 so the last prefacelift scars were on a J plate, however here’s a survivor that managed to wait until 1994 Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

You can still order a brand new Niva https://www.lada.bg/bg/cars/4x4/urban/about.php Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

In other news, I’ve managed to crawl out from under my rock. Hope everyone has been keeping well in my absence Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Swapped the entire clocks over as the 4cyl set only had 200 miles less than the originals and all is now well. Got the leather interior in too, had to wire the electric adjustment as only had wiring for the heated seats which was available with cloth seats on the Ghia X. Also added a Sierra Cosworth 3-spoke leather steering wheel. Next up is changing the suspension as her arse is saggy and I want to add a towbar. Found a guy on the Mk3 Granada Facebook page who’s a member of the Bulgarian Sierra/Granada page who works at a bodyshop and lives 1hr from me so she will be going there for a full respray and fitting of the replacement doors, bonnet and the rest of the RS bodykit. Having to save for that as house renovations are taking priority (I can’t continue walking down the garden for a crap in the depths of winter) [emoji38] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Having a mate that’s into cleaning cars, I don’t have the patience.

Good luck everyone

Safely back in Shetland, just need to collect my other car next week and my fleet will be complete

Called it a night just outside Carlisle. Quick run down of the car: Convertible Roof - doesn’t work Suspension - clonks over bumps Exhaust - heat shield rattles Tracking - wheel wobble between 65-70 Everything else works so have auto lights/wipers, auto-dim rear view mirror, heated seats, cooled glovebox etc Glovebox - Contains no Werthers Originals ? Just over 220 miles left to do in the morning to get back to Aberdeen then on the boat tomorrow night

Sorry, minor disaster of a flat battery upon collection.......well it wouldn’t be Autoshite without one would it. So £800 buys you a virtually brand new car (in my eyes). A 2008 Ford Focus CC

Train No2 achieved. Next stop - somewhere in Bromley

Poo Count = 1 (managed on the plane) Now on Train No1 to that there London, seats pretty good, people non-smelly
