    Well being as the interior is the worst part of my Mav, that will probably where I start. Lots of spiderwebs, muddobber nest, etc are scattered throughout the car. I was wondering what tips you guys had for cleaning out the interior.

    Also it has a split bench front seat, but i am wanting buckets, actually I would like to get a good donor car. I have hear that granada's have disc brakes, 302's and other misc. parts. Any advice on either of these points?

    I've had a few
    Pull out the seats, rear side arm rest panels and carpet. Spray the carpet down with a water hose and let it dry in the sun. Just take stuff apart and clean up anything you find. A shop vac was a god send in a couple of my cars. It's amazing how much general garbage collects under the seats and stuff of a car this old. Keep an eye out for rust.
