granada donor
picked up a 2.9i twin turbo granada scorpio of ebay, not 24v. Was going to use for another project but consider it for a locost. Are they a good
donor?
Its also a k plate 93 would this need a cat? for the locost

most of the bits are simmilar to sierra Items however all the suspension components are a bit on the heavy side. I have a locost built with sierra abs
suspension bits which are almost the same as granada except for being 4 stud. If you do build with a granada donor expect a finished weight of between
600 and 800 kg kerb.

Granada Front hubs are bigger than Sierra and the mushroom adaptors don't fit.
Engine, gearbox, diff, drive shafts, instruments cluster, steering column & brakes all fit but better swaping the discs for equivalent sierra
sized discs when using sierra front hubs and change the rear drive plates/wheel flanges to those from the sierra rear disc set up or the later scorpio
granada.
With the granada you also get a copious supply of wiring.
Beware of the Goldfish in the tulip mines. The ONLY defence against them is smoking peanut butter sandwiches.

BuŁŁer. my granada didn't have aircon. mind you the electrically adjusted rear seat have come in dead handy. Invert the motors and youv'e
got rear ride height adjustment.
