How to ruin a Mk1 Granada (not for the easily offended!!!)

I don't think I need to say much, take a look for yourselves...

I know the person who did it must've invested a lot of time and money getting it done but goodness me, why bother...?!?!?! I am biased as I favour the original look but this is just insanely, horendously, bad... Banger racing it would've been better, but only just... :banghead:

If you do fancy buying it so you can burn it in a deserted field or in a shopping centre car park it's on eBay right now, get those matches ready...!!!

Why didn't he just modify an American car,as that is exactly what he has set out to achieve,by the look of it! :barf:
Sure much time & money went into it,but not for me. :? :thumbdown:
Somebody switched the Filbert artic-but nowhere near Harlington!

I've been looking at this for a little while now, and I have to say that there are elements of this I quite like.

(Ducks to avoid e-missiles!!!)

I don't like the gull-wing doors, the over-done alloys, the too bright interior and I don't care for how the rear's been done.

But I do quite like the Focus ST style orange paint and the use of black trim, which gives it a bit of a modern slant. And suits it quite well imo.

If it stopped at that, it would have been OK, but he took it several steps too far.
