Shonky Old Ford

[pnwrs2000]

Hello,
I’ve just registered on here so thought I’d start a quick thread to say hello and tell you what my plans are.
This won’t be to everyone’s taste but many many moons ago I had a mk3 Ford Granada which I put some 18” Intra (IIRC) 8.5” front and 9” rear wheels on. From memory I think the tyres were 215 x 40’s and 235 x 35’s on the rear.




Fast forward about 20 years and I’ve just bought another mk3 Granada



This time though I want it to sit lower and go for something different like Rota’s RM200 in silver or polished ? or possibly some 3sdm 0.05’s, again either silver or polished.
All comments welcome along with any suggestions.
Cheers

Now I know where Jaguar got the inspiration for their new XJ rear window treatment.

I know those cars as Ford Scorpios

Ford Scorpio in the UK is a hideous beast that no one speaks of... I don't even think ford like to speak of it....

and yes you are right, what were they thinking

Yep, Scorpio's definately hit every branch on the ugly tree !

It'll be ongoing project but as im undecided about wheels, i'll probably start with getting it cleaned up properly first and then get the suspension sorted and get the glass tinted.

Are most people on here from the states then i assume ?

there's a large euro community too

as for wheels, (the ones you got look alright to me tho) look at sierra cosworths

Good few Euro and UK folks on here! And the Merc reps on your old one look pretty cool on this platform! Just find something that makes it look mean as!

I'd never really considered split rims tbh but a big old skool style like those are growing on me. I think...
