Thanks to will posting a certain Cortina in the No Rhyme thread, I've been reminded of Mick Wilkes' similarly-styled Viva/Firenza coop... But I can't find any pics! Help a brother out? It's rusty bulge and turbo 'funnel' were awesome...  *n |

I'd forgotten how good the stance was on it... Front wheels in particular. Does it still survive?

If the Viva and the Tina had a fight it would get very very ugly!

Always thought of them as (ugly) sister cars. The Tina was just faster iirc... But a properly built YB with gas was always going to beast a near-stock XE with a massive turbo and shot of gas.

This is Micks current beastie as seen at this years Gathering.  He still has the Firenza but it's been heavily modified since it was last on the road and his engine plans for it are incredible.Not sure if I should say any more so I won't.  edit:beaten to it by HW. ;D |
