i have let him know about this (by phone) but he was invoicing a customer. give him another 10 mins. They were never that rare to find. You don't realise how rare things until you start looking.

the thing is he has had so many mk1 & mk2 granada bits and still has some, just not the lights he needs. every one that we have spoken to who are or have been into granada's thought they might still have some, but no luck when they have looked in their shed or garage.

i think idealy he wants a scraper pre face-lift granada so he can replace the fiberglass moulding that holds the lights with original metal. then he may be able to use the rear hubs aswell. he also needs a starter motor from a mk1 3000 granada as it mounts on the opposite side to th mk2.

Ant i thought you might of posted them pictures of 3001 at Ally Pally 1979.

If any one else has any pictures of it at show from the early 80's (or anywhere) please post them on this thread or if you are unable to do that, then please can madvanman (Ant) have copies so he can use them for reference, for this restoration. thanx
