hello folks. a couple weeks ago I posted a thread asking the value of a used granite blx. after reading all the replies and getting more info from the seller I decided to pull the trigger.
it was delivered a few days ago and I've been able to inspect it a bit and I am so happy I bought it. the rust in the original pics was superficial and only on the tip of the screws. after some simple green, a toothbrush and silicon lubricant she's looking way better!
I checked the wheel bearings and they are in fantastic condition, didn't have to change any of them, although I did replace one of the smaller bearings which was completely missing
for some reason it is also missing the driveshaft bearing + support, and has a cracked rear bumper which I have a replacement for.
I couldn't help but to try it out when it got delivered and I broke a front a arm (driver error, this thing handles wildly compared to my Typhon!)
after the a arms get delivered I'm going to drive her and inspect what shows itself to me! I was thinking about tearing the diffs apart, but with the condition of the car I doubt they need any attention. I swear this guy drove it a couple times then just let it sit. all the plastics are in great condition.
here are some pics! more updates to come
