Nice looking Tina. It does suit the car being a two door rather than a more door. Even the colour is quite cool. Are you going to keep the Pinto boat anchor and turbo it (would get a usable 200 bhp out of that) or maybe go Zetec and slap a turbo on that instead??

Seeing that 2.8I spoiler on it reminded me of a Green two door that used to be at RAF West Raynham and that had a 2.8I conversion. Very subtle and went well. (this was in the late 80's)

Fantastic - my first ever car after 8 minis was a 2.0 Ghia in gold with twin choke Webers (I think).
Crashed it though - I was 17 !

My driving instructor said to me, there's no point driving fast.. the slower you go, the more time people get to admire your car!

I like the Cortina. It'd got the right amount of 'cool' without showing off :mrcool:
