Oh well, I might as well join in on the "MK1 Cortinas that relatives own" vibe...

Here's my Brother-in-laws Consul Cortina, recently bought to replace his Evo VIII

Has that actually been done , i know of 480 volvo conversions , loads of 172 and 172 turbo conversions and also of a 225 megane engine .

Never yet seen one with a 21 t in there , if you have pics or ids id love to see one go.
