I think the guy cut his teeth building TVRs in the 1980s.  :)

For something built in his spare time,and from pictures it looks,reasonably good. :y

I would like to see,some of you do better.

Go on just about any kit car forum or magazine and you'll see many, many better examples, all built in peoples garages at home..

The same can be said of cars built by professional car manufacturers.  ;D
MK1 Fiat Uno anyone... ;D

Hard to see much Granada left; possibly the front uprights and some switchgear. After all, how many spaceframed, mid-engined V8 Granadas are there?

During the project he sliced the top off his index finger in the turbo with the digit then shooting out of the exhaust pipe.
He had it shipped to Bahrain - where he worked for a while........

Still don't understand why he had the top of his finger shipped to Bahrain.  :-\ ::) ::)

Sorry Trevor, whilst I agree with your comment (highlighted), must disagree re this car.  Ignoring the obvious design differences, the quality of both the paint and the fibreglassing is poor at best, and as for the interior, well he didn't make much of an effort did he? ;)  Mechanically looks fair though.
