£15,000 - Granada Into a Supercar
« on: 22 January 2015, 21:48:45 »
Amateur mechanic spends £15,000 and five years transforming 1990 Ford Granada into exact replica of £1million Zonda supercar

I can certainly think of better ways i'd spend my hard earned brass :o :o :o

Far play on taking up such a challenge... Whether it was foolish or brave i'll leave that up to yous  ;D

Not sure healthy is the right word either :-\

That said I really couldn't tell the difference...

Not sure that driving it on the road is exactly sensible if it isn't UK road legal either :-X especially if you're being filmed when you do it... ::)

It didn't look too bad until the interior shots. That was when I nearly fell out of my chair in a combined laughing/coughing fit.

When you say 'interior' do you mean the door shuts or the passenger side of the dash :-\
