Hi everyone. I am a student from Moscow, Russia. And this is my ride, it is Ford Granada MK1 built in Germany in 1975(model year is 1972). Important note: it has nothing equal with US Ford Granada. I bought it in very sad condition and very rusted. Going to restore it to the best condition i can. I dont like its headlights and i want to install there 4 round lights and remake a bit hood and fenders. A lot of people say it has real muscle car shape.))) I would rather buy a better car in other country but the taxes for importation in our country are dreadful and vehicles of 70's are very rare. Sorry for my English.)

If the project will go right i consider to drop there V8 Windsor. But now it is just in my mind.

This is my second Granada, i got it with my red one, but this has got no documents, i taked out all doors, glasses and suspension. Going to cut off some parts from it and send it to the junk yard.

Here you can see custom fenders, someone made them for this grey one which i got as a bonus.

No, this is not a Camaro. Just trying round lights(Lada 2106), but there will be 4 of them. Grill is pushed back a little to conform with new style.

Hi, Thanks for the comment, I want to swap the engine and the transmission as you say. However, the engine and the transmission are very expensive. I keep having it run until an 305 engine breaks. And, would that a new engine is build by the time 305 engine breaks down.

Thanks for the comment, Granada's look different over here in the states? I don't know why ford did that to many cars. I would love to have a mad max type car to drive around, but I love what I got, after all it's still a ford. Good luck on the project and keep up the good work.
