so here she is just bought her dosnt need much work but enough lol

need respray.
small patch of welding
stub axel (let me know if you have one for sale)
general tidy up

 

looks good mate

 

car looks good m8 by the way what are the size of ya alloys if there 17s how much is it lowerd by

 

very nice

 

Car is lowered 60mm as far as I'm aware

I wanted the kit and wheels off it but lucky old Tony got the whole car

 

yes mate there 17's and dropped 60mm scrubs like mad .(inner arches are coming out to help)


small up-date though

ive got the stub axel Ł20 thanks to "escort part in norwich"

all welding will be done today then shes going in for her mot on saturday 10th. so hopefully she will pass fingers crossed.

 

i like a good turbo'd onion

 

nice one mate love orions!

 

Brian

 

Nice color... I like white rst Front is verry agresive Keep it going

 

very nice

 

nooo, thats all wrong mate, would look much better with standard bumpers and they quad lights removed and the door handles put back on

 

got to dissagree if i take all that off then it will llook like a run of the mill old orion . like this u tell me where there is another that looks like this ? i love it how it is and it'll only get better

 

with the right bumpers and some standard headligths that could be a very very nice onion

 

I like it smooth, think it looks nice and different. There's loads of near standard ones about, this one stands out from the crowd

 

like it

 

Looks Not to keen on the twin headlights... but apart from that
Can I ask why a new stub axle was required???

 

cos a near standard 1 looks a million times better, it stands out from the crowd all rite!! a roll cage as well..... in an orion, but at the end of the day each to there own.

 

 

are you breakin the silver 1 in the backround? any good bits?

 

lubbley jubbley

 

GOOD LUCK WITH MOT MATE SEE ORION ON EBAY HOW MUCH YOU GET HER FOR

 

yes mate the silver one is being broke most of the bits are there just not bolted together lol if any one wants any bits just pm me for price.

it needed a new stub ael as the other was bent dont know how it happend as i got it like it.

im going to put some standard head lights in it to see what it looks like ill post a pic up when ive done it.

 

small up-date finished undersealing 2day going for mot next saturday just av to find time between now and then to refit headlight going to miss it while its away from me for a week

 

wehay its you mate, im gonna have to pop round and have a look some time aye tony

oh yeah the cars look damned good in them pics

 

Only reason i'm asking is because I've recently got hold of a MK2 Orion as abit of a project...
And the n/s front wheel don't sit right... the wheel sits about half inch further back than the other side... ( we've been over the car and there are no signs of accident damage, so it must have clipped a curb at some stage )
I've got new suspension to go on it... its had a new bottom arm... I've got another anti-roll bar plus new bushes to fit at some stage...
But have been told to replace the stub axle...
So is the same problem you've got with yours???

 

loosen the arb til it recentres then do it up again, its just pulled thru the mounts on a kerb or pothole

 

Cheers...i'll get on with it in a couple of weeks... need to crack on with it...

and the missus has got a escort si hence askin abot the silver 1 you have, any good bits?

 

nah was asking "slammedorion" for pics of his mk2 .kwl you got ay rst bit that might interest me performance bits i mean? erm ive got loads of bits on my silver 1 all depends on what your after.

 

Its a H-reg 1991 1600i ghia... was parked up for nearly 2 years... got it a couple of months ago...



The paint aint perfect but the shell is solid... only wants 2 little plates on the floor and 2 new rear arches on the rear... because im picky...
Thats it... so its a perfect shell for what i'm planning for it...
Over the last 2 months I've just been picking up parts on the cheap for it...



Collected so far... full S2 kit for it, 90's spec front bumper and turbo bonnet...
A set of 2nd hand Koni adjustables
Full Mongoose system with abit of extra to adapt it to fit the Orion
2nd hand sunroof as mines jammed...lol
ARB...
Plan is for a full respray in Moonstone blue with the turbo kit fitted and a saff spoiler, no locks.... thats about it...
16's or 17's... not sure on what wheels yet
Recaro front seats and a retrim in the rear... keeping it suttle
Then a 2 litre zetec turbo...( aim is near 300bhp ) or maybe fit a Focus RS lump... I need to look into whats involved in doing this abit more first...



Before I really start on it eg paint/ and engine...
gotta sell MY98 STi type R:-



As I hit 25 this year and am after getting on the property market with the misses...
The sale of my Scooby will give me a better deposit to put down... although I wanna keep abit back to get things moving on the Orion... as this is gonna be my toy...

 

cool sounds good . did you know that a saff cossie interiour will fit in the orion .? as ive got recaros in front of mine and a saff rear seats. plans for mine are get mot (will be done by 24th feb) ive got a front mount intertcooler on the way and -31 kent cam and then have her set up to 15psi. it will stay like that untill after santa pod in march then its going low comp with a 1.9 tall block just going to try and get the most out of the engine really . between that though my mate is gone to sort out the body work and respray it(only going to cost around Ł650 still same colour though) . and thats about it really untill im 20 then i think i might move on to a saff cossie.

as she satands the engine mods are as follows
.chip
.hybrid turbo
.fullset of blue samco's
.full s/s/ zorst
.dump valve
.inductin kit
.i think there is more but my minds gone blank
oh and the chrome/polished bits n bobs.

how much you going to be looking for for the scooby?

 

a love orions my first 2 cars were orions a1.4 wi a full ashley exaust and a 1.6i ghia white lowered 60mm wi cosworth latice wheels.my cousin built a orion turbo from a bare shell put s1 arches and wrc front bumper looked cool as fook

 

sortedscort... have you got any decent pics of the saff interior fitted to the Orion... I have heard they fit... was just woundering how well...?

Price wise for the Scooby... if anyone is seriously interested then they can PM me... its not up forsale just yet... but will be in the next couple of months unfortunatley...
It owes me mega money... but the spec is awesome... its having a new ecu fitted this weekend, along with 800cc injectors and a boost tweak...

 

hi mate i havent got any pics of seats as of yet the only ones ive got are at top but ill get you some on sunday mate . i assume they fit perfect but mine are slightly out due to the rears being pushed out slightly at each end becouse of roll cage but i think its kwl as where it pushes them out it makes them sort of like a bucket rear bench lol

 

top stuff

them capri rears your having off me are bucketted

 

not much to update as of yet shes bin in the garage havin work done for mot +mot was only meant to be in there 2 weeks but wer are now in the 4th week hope fully have her out this week

 

get the poor old cabby sorted mate , the thing been sat there all this time rotting away i love that car but cant afford to buy it off you lol
