Good to hear it hasn't been abandoned. Good luck with getting it all sorted. Would love to have a classic Ford as my daily as well, but not suitable for the milage I am doing.

Nope not abandoned - considered selling for a while but would of regretted .

Granadas not to bad only £30 a week fuel though I don't work far from home

I have tried the joining of the cables - also bought another car and swapped everything from one to the other

 

There are a few things I'm going to try inc Petes suggestion re fuel pump mount

 

Thing is since Iv started using the Granada I have realised Iv been getting it wrong all these years - instead of having car of the road for years converting and making it go faster it's a lot better driving an old arm chair and driving like miss daisy

They are comfy boats, must admit, once I take them off the road I take forever to repair and get them back together, got several on the go and when it is the weekend it seems like I repair everyone's car except mine.

Sounds all too familiar. :(

 

Between the missus and I, we have 4 cars.

A MK2 Fiesta Ghia and a MK2 XR2.

A Mk2 1.1 Festival and a MK2 Cortina.

 

The Festival and the Cortina sit in a lockup.. Sitting.. Waiting..

Once in a while, something gets taken off of the Festival to be used as a spare for the Ghia.

 

My XR2 is my daily. Needs a load of little jobs doing to it. But they never get done. :(

It's always the Ghia that take president over everything else.

Hi there. Are there any plans of getting this awesome machine back out again? I would love to see it in the flesh.
