Will the oops ever end?
I got all my measurement for the center of the real wheel of another Ford Granada...What I didn't realise was a Ford Granada doesn't have the wheel in the middle of the arch, so It ended up thus.
Granada has a crappy trailing arm, meaning the rear wheel moves in an arch, where as the far superior e39 the suspension travel is in one plane.
This is a pic of the wheel jacked up, and compared to a standard coupe
Wasn't happy, So I had to get it to look like this, which meant moving the rear end back another 23.5mm
Now when its lowered it wont look like a turd. I then trimmed up the last of the bm sills and boot, and pushed it out into the day light to have a clear up
Next was somewhere to put the fuel filler
Bonnet hinges done and done
Rear panel and boot floor stitched together
A posts completed
Door trimmed and the bm stuff trial fitted, window works as it should, 1 touch
Front wheel hub drilled to 112mm pcd, and wheel temporarily on, till I can buy or make a 20mm spacer
Wipers commercially made up for now
First of the body filler going back on
Scrap BM Turbine alloys,,,,,waste not want not
Finished the petrol filler
