After owning a 11sec VL turbo i decided to sell it and get something else abit more character and it was my TC cortina.
I absolutely love this car, i love it more than my vl. Since i bought it i got 2002 xr8 seats, 4 speed toploader, 2002 tickford xr8 motor and Microtech ecu going into it. I am actually in the process of cutting out some rust and paint also doing 5 stud conversion and motor transplant.. so here is some pics.
