Beautiful car! Keep the two tone, you dont see many like it.
 Couple of questions if you dont mind.....what peddars shocks do you have on the rears (mine need replacing and it shares the same suspension) and how do you intend to go about the hydraulic clutch.....are you going to make your own set up or go with someone like Reyland in the UK?
Cheers.

I will need to check the rear shocks. They are pedders sport ryders, not sure of part number.
The clutch I will be doing myself. Using a universal remote master and a willwood pull type slave cylinder.

Cheers, Ill look into the Pedders shocks when I can.
 Im also trying to get a few bits together for a hydraulic clutch. The Sapphires and the Granadas share a few bits and the pedal box is one of them. Im using a clutch pedal bracket from a Ford Scorpio (1995 onwards) as the TD versions used a hydraulic clutch and the master cylinder was attached to that. Ill be using a separate reservoir as the Scorpio used the brake master cylinder. As for the slave, Ive got a plate between the bellhousing and the box so I will make up a thick piece of metal and weld it on the side so it will push the clutch fork......thats the plan anyway......got a couple of bits and pieces but some parts even Fords no longer stock so will be sourcing them elsewhere.  Good luck.

You will have to post up a few pics of what you do. Always good to see other people's ideas!

Ok,
Had the car clay barred and polished today. When I got the car from the other side of Australia it came over on a train. This left it with iron dust bedded into the paint. Its all out now though!
While it was shiney I thought id take some pics.

Ive been looking at some of the wiring in the car and it hasnt realy been to my liking.
I removed the standard fan switch and set up the Autronic to take care of switching the fans. Much more acurate than a old switch!
I will be rewiring the fuel pump. Then rewiring the radio. Next year when I pull the engine for a rebuild the whole loom will get a going over!
Let me know what you think!
