RESTO LOG
Whether you’re an enthusiast or bodyshop, restoring a
Mk2 Granada is no mean feat, but it had to be done.

After some serious hours — and miles finding panels
— the body was ready for in-house prep and paint.

Originally Champagne Gold, Davey was adamant
the colour be changed to also-correct Caspian Blue.

Meanwhile Neil busied himself tracking down the
correct-colour, and stupidly rare, interior trim.

Stripping the shell revealed plenty of horrors, with
many of the repair sections having to be fabricated.

All of the suspension and running gear was also
stripped, checked and repainted to look factory.

The underside is every bit as good as you’d
expect. Stainless steel exhaust carefully
follows the pattern of the original.


Third time lucky for the C3 auto...
