I'm making a perspecs boot for a Granada 2.8i Police car Stevie (for a Museum). I will post some pictures when complete- might be of interest for your project.

I always thought they were called a "Crapi"? I have got to be fair though, my best man had a 2.8 and it was quick, would do 70 in second!

Think I've seen an E30 with a ZR-1 style acrylic section in it before :roll:

now, if it had the LS9 to go underneath it might have been cool but probably just a fecking M40!!!
