hi ppl iv been offered a L reg granada cosworth for £300 its not got mot needs new bonnet and rear arches and a good tidy up really
it a x armed responce motor and it is BULLET PROOF still
just wanted to no if its worth gettin or best passin by
cheers

Fil

if its BULLET PROOF then it would weigh in for a fair amount,

£300 buy it, even if you dont want it, you get that back for the engine, then scrape the rest!

the armored glass is worth an eBay auction if you don't fix it up, by the way one of the funniest things to happen to me was some bloke trying to break in to the rear of the armored merc I was a passenger in about 20 years ago...... the brick bounced and hit him in the face!!!!!! bloody nose etc ... I just slid into the foot well laughing!!!!

tippy74

yh fil been told cos of the weight it eats rear tyres but i think thats to do with the power ..
brenden i'd had laughed a little to i fink....

Get it and use it for fun... I'd love a car I could throw bricks at for fun

if you decide to break il be having the loom

the diff would fetch 150 to 250 alone

Rust will be your biggest issues with these old barges
Take a close look at sills all along and where it meets the rear arches.
Under near the rear beam mounts and springs.

you will need a manual conversion as it will shit the gearbox

rotten arches won't be a cheap fix either

if it's in the air con box then you need to do a fair about of fiddling to get it out

it will come out but make sure it's not the switch first

only 2 bolts either side but the air con pipes and stuff make it much more complicated and don't forget you will need to move the engine metal cowling which may require some very short screwdrivers

bullet proof ... or just well welded up lol

tippy74

thanks dojj ill have a go at it once it stops rainin ....
matthew im shore ur p100 has had a box or two of welding rods used on it !!!
