Looking great mate, I wouldn't say those wheels are that bad, at least they'd get you through iva, mine are all different sizes!

Have you still got the rollbar cross section to weld in? If not how are you mounting the seatbelt/harness anchors? :confused:

Yeah still have it in garage but no seats yet so i am holding off till i get them..also have 8 holes drilled in the welding bench in work ..which just happen to fit my roll bar mounting bolts..should keep distortion to a minimum when welding it in..

Cool..

I recon the granada wheels may just look fantastic when the body is on. They used a 4 stud version of that wheel on a wind tunnel test car for the original RS Cosworth, before they slapped on the cross-spoke style wheels.
