Is it a twin fuses box granada or a single fusebox granada.

If it's single then the engine loom simply unplugs under the dash.

I would then ( personaly ) forget about the rest of the loom apart from any interconecting multiplugs that may be needed.

Never had bother with prop bolts. If the shells a scrapper then I cut a hole in the floor so I can see it from the top

Hammer and chissle will do the floor nicely.


Never split the leaver of an MT75, Just drop the box myself.

Hand nibbler will take 10 times longer than the hammer and chissel
