Default My MK2 rs kitted orion, 2.3 conversion.

Been a bloody long time since i posted, not sure if the hatred for orions is still there, haha But ive been driving them since I passed my test in 01, and still love em to bits to this day!even though ive had 4 cossies, always come back to a orion.
Anyways, heres my baby, started life a 1.6GL, 38K miles from new and 1 owner.
Now running a RS2000 converted to 2.3, full custom stainless and few odd and sods,full adjustable spax, ghia interior, recaros trimmed in ghia cloth, loads more stuff,any ways, heres a few pics.

This is an impressive conversion. I've plenty of time for the onion, I've had 3 but I'll put this out there........I really don't like the rs kitted ones. Yours looks really tidy I just can't get behind them, hard car to do much different with too.

Glad you still have this Orion. The engine just looks so factory fitted.
