[QUOTE=Belisarius]I still have a 1981 2.0 GLS Ford Cortina with Original Paint and only 76,000km on the odometer, biege sidings and carpet, and seats. [QUOTE]

You mean the 2-door 2.0 Ford Cortina? That's a nice car. I knew somebody who owned one before and they really set the car up nice. Mags, headers, free-flow mufflers, BUT no body-cladding--which was GOOD. They kept the car's lines clean while beefy-ing up the tires. It was one of the 2 fastest cars in the neighborhood--the other being a Mitsubishi Galant Sigma with 2.0 liter SOHC. Though the Mitsubishi had a 2.0 liter SOHC engine, it lacked the all out design-for-power approach of the Ford which had cross-flow heads. The Mitsubishi had siamesed ports, but also had the nice and new-for-the-time Silent Shafts, which made the engine run very smoothly.
