A granada's hardly a shopping trolley of a motor!

Cool build, I love the ZZZ ZZZ reg plate... kinda takes the pi$$ out of building a sleeper though

There was me thinking it stopped at corsa's with C20LETS (2ltr turbo calibra engine) in them

Saw a 5door corsa on a forum once with a C20LET in it had something stupid like 500+BHP

Id be supprised if that granada could handle the power no matter what they do to it!

I know that there are faster/more power full engines in Mini's but just for the pure size of it...


2.5 V6 engine is a fairly large lump

Ah, but it's not a Granny anymore is it - look at all the fabbing that's been done and the new rear end too - all that's left of the original Dagenham Dustbin is the upper body, there's a whole new box section frame underneath and the back end is heavily braced too.
