Kent Meet

Venue: Badgers Mount Pub
When: 12:00 onwards (till about 15:00)
How to get there: Come off the M25 at Junction 4 (Sign posted A21 Orpington/ Bromley).
Drive down the 'spur road' to a big roundabout - take the immediate first exit and carry on that road - Go over another smaller roundabout (second exit - straight over) and the pub is on your right.
Who? Anyone that wants to turn up!! You are not restricted to being a Club member or a member of another Club - just get there. Granadas and Scorpios - all welcome!

Sadly it looks like I won't be able to make this one.
Also, I sold my Scorpio this week so I probably won't be "officially" attending any more meetings. However, I will look in on the essex meetings from time to time as they are a nice bunch of people...

Hi geoff! My "ultima hatchback" is indeed a mk3 hatch with a ultima front on. I started the conversion at the beginning of the year, and had it ready for the bromley pageant, in june (which was when the photo was taken) there are still a few jobs to do yet, i.e, blacking out the chrome trims around the rear windows. I.M.O it does look really smart, almost, as it shouldve looked, if fords had built such a car.
p.s, thanks for the compliment!

Really impressed, I loved my old mk3 hatch.
Have you thought about biting the bullet and fitting Ultima lights and bumper to the rear?
I suspect somebody at Ford designed a hatch version but it got pulled, did you make pics of the conversion process?

As far as the back goes, I smoothed the mk3 bumper off, i.e, done away with the plastichrome strip, and filled the recess, so as it follows the line of the ultima front bumper, and fitted, later mk3 dark rear lights. All in all, the rear does look in keeping with the rest of the car, especially the dark lights, against the aubergine paintwork. Personally, the mk3 back always looked spot on, as it was. I took pics of each step of the conversion, which I will eventually get round to putting on here, just as soon as I work out how too. Looking back, the job would have been a tad easier, had I used a facelift mk3, as they share the same wiper arrangement as the ultimas (I used a pre-facelift car, and had to change the whole wiper assembly) The bodylines of the granada and the ultima are completely different, hence why I had to fit ultima doors, even now there is a slight diiference in profiles from the back doors to the back wings, but nothing that cant be reshaped eventually. As for the wiring.... I have gone for the simpler route, and used the mk3 harnesses in the ultima doors (would you believe, the doors fitted straight on, but the plugs in the doors, are nothing like the sockets in the pillars) There were lots of things, that were different, that I thought would be the same, and vice versa.
