On my 88 Firebird, the headlight doors would not go full-open/full shut. Replacement motors were many hundreds of dollars. When I opened one up, there were three plastic cylinders that are combination shock protection and sacrificial member to keep the motor and geartrain from eating itself. I cut up a hot glue stick and used the plugs to replace the crumbled plastic. Sold the car a few years later with fully functional headlight doors.

I know there was a rear disc brake upgrade that used the rear calipers from an eldorado... not sure what years they are from, you can get brackets from scarebird.com... if youre looking at 98-02(?) firebird/camaro, you can use the disc brake set-up from those with some mods, the complete axle has a entirely different control arm setup that won't work in our cars.

if that granada has a 9' rear, you may want to scrounge that and find you somewhere that could make a mount set-up...
