Here's the one I just bought






More pics on my other thread if interested. The turbo conversion wasn't complete when I got her, but last night bought all the gear off a FRST for it, so hopefully it will be running normal boost soon..........

Yeah I would have liked it when Kim sold it, but sadly didn't have the cash at the time! Unfortunately, the old girl isn't what she used to be, last time I saw pics of it, it was looking a bit beaten up. RS7s were gone, along with the Cossie bumper

I saw some pictues of it on EscortEVOlution and it looked pretty sorry. It's changed hands again since Kim had it I think. Someone off there was looking to buy it, but it's taken a turn for the worse. Big shame, cos it was one of my favourite MK3 Orions

I spotted D19 KYM a while ago. I posted these pics on evo a while ago. Doesn't look as nice anymore which is a shame. Used to be a fave of mine

This is how it looked, before changes:



And this is how it looked when I saw it:

And this is how it looked when I saw it:


Awww my ickle baby, In all fairness she isnt that tatty, whoever took them pics, took them on a bad day, she stil cleans up REAL nice!! The rs7's i took off when i sold her, and put them on my cossie, the esccos front bumper was just far too low, and was damaged, should be repaired and back on soon

Of course she isnt as mint as when i had her, but thats 2 years ago now....shes getting on, not every car can stay mint forever, but shes NOWHERE near as bad as them above pics make her look And she still goes like fuck too

He may be selling her, he has a buyer lined up, but she will be broken for bits if this guy buys her GUTTED

xr2turbo123 - your mate got the orion off us v.quick car!!

Dont worry T shes still looking well see her every day lol

I did promise you some pics didnt I
