Cpt Tuttle Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 Looked for something cheap to restore. Ended up with this: A rather crude representation of a British Ford Granada (which is a completely different car to the American Granada as you may know). Too big wheels, oddly proportioned doors etc. - but price and condition was what I was looking for so I can't complain. Actually, it was kind of a pleasant surprise when I took it apart. Windows will need polishing, the interior will be fine after some cleaning, axles are nice etc. so it's more or less the matter of repainting and tidying things up.

Cpt Tuttle Posted October 22, 2021 Author Share Posted October 22, 2021 I thought that gold was a suitable colour, and the casting was actually good enough to just require minor prepping. If I remember correctly, this is even an original colour for the Ford Granada, called "Arizona gold". Molotow pen improved the chrome, I also used it on the wheels, because if I remember correctly there was a quite "smooth" wheel cover in chrome available for the Granada, so it is a fairly realistic result for the scale.

Geno Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 I like it Mattias, the color looks great. Just an idea if it's attainable there. I use Mothers Mag & Aluminum Polish on the bare metal, a few times going over it and it'll shine almost like real chrome.☺️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
