didn't get old orion done in time for fordfair this year to much welding and other stuff to sort out,
so sort off gave up on that now and got a new one.



cost me £500 and a little drive to buy what is the most sound orion i've ever had, doesn't need 1 bit off welding and it's only ever had 2 plates done on the rear which are really small.
it only an L model with a 1600 carb engine but i think thats the route i want to take couldn't be bothered with turbos anymore don't have the money to put in to them, so to keep thing simple just going to add my 40s.

nsf spotless so i give it a bit off an undersill to make it stay that way.



osf again done the same.


the thing that really suprised me is the battery tray again spotless so i waxoil that.


and the underside i started to undersill that but it started to rain and gave up.


so i got all the front end done waxoil and undersill going to do the back end tomorrow.
got to start taking off all my part off my old one giving them a clean and fitting them to this one.

want to make this one look really old school type really but not sure what to do in that way so if anyones got any comment or photos please share.
thanks
