Nice work Owen. You really don't muck about hey, straight into it and pulling it all down.
It should be awesome when done. There can't be many of these on our roads, could there?

This one looks like a Mk3 or later.  (Sierra era)
There was a tan/copper(?) MK1 one for sale in QLD (?) earlier in the year.  Sold, then was advertised again.  Don't know where it ended up.
 
Hey Hak, say hello to Betty for me.

I havn't been on here for a while, trying to sort my Granada....big head aches! That looks like a good one you got there!! Did you get it from WA? There was a black Cossie just like it up for sale a few weeks ago, I was looking at it but just couldn't stretch to buying it at the moment. If it is that one, I'm glad its gone to someone whos going to look after it and not just gut it for the engine. Keep it well serviced and it'll last you years.
 There is another Black one in WA, a red Mk3 (ours are the facelifted Mk3's) went for auction a few years back and ive heard of another floating around but havnt tracked it down yet. Glad theres another one on here.
  Good luck with it mate.
Forgot to ask...where did you get that headlining???? That is perfect. Mines hanging down at the back and needs a glue but I was thinking of replacing it.
 Cheers.
