Description: #barra #cortina #haltech It may look like a classic TC Cortina but look closer and you'll see a thoroughly modern, very capable, all-purpose race car. With a turbo Barra engine and most of the drivetrain sourced from a late XR6 turbo, Greg managed to achieve the holy grail of car building: the nostalgic looks of his first ride with a modern-day performance that allows him to successfully compete in a variety of events from hill climb to drags. And perhaps the most impressive part is - he managed to do it all in his shed with some help from friends and family! .
