Good news for me.
After some bartering I have swapped my mk4 van for my old cabby,a pile of spares and this ropey 1.4 ghia Orion which I'm probably going to break so I can get all the bits I need for the cab.
It's pretty unloved now,doesn't run,has a s1 engine with efi manifold,s2 turbo box,shagged half leather interior,needs paint here and there,windscreen has went white and the rear window seals are corroded.
It will be a slow resto and I'll do it as and when time and money are available but I have it back at least.

I have owned it 3 times,I bought it and turbo'd it,had it painted,44000 gen miles,mint half leather interior,new rs 7 spokes,running 190 bhp,bayjoo chip etc.
Sold it yo a guy who didn't look after it,bought it back and tidied it then sold it for a quick buck,it then passed through a lot if folk then ended up with a pal,I bought it with great intentions but I sold all my projects to buy another mk2 frs which I hated.
The car is sitting outside under a flappy tarpaulin and the guy won't sell but I bought a mk4 escort van the other day which he wants so I may be able to get a deal out if him yet!
