here be my faithful mk2 onion sporting a fine 1.6CVH lump,after seliing my 3 door and 2 saffs and keeping the orion so i could still pay my morgage,she felt a bit slow!turbo was outta the question for now,as i got bills to pay!
zetec idea sounded perfect,a nice clean fresh build 2 litre focus lump,with a few mods,chipped,custom loom and a nice 4 branch and induction kit were soon mine.it isnt finnished yet,but shouldnt be much longer thn a week till it is!the bumpers for smashed when i got smacked up the arse by a woman






















sadly with the manifold on,the starter is to tight to fit!so gotta think of another plan for that one!

 

liking that alot

what exhaust manifold is that ?

 

its from graham hathaway engineering,fits really well,well chuffed with it!

 

looks nice mate, love those oldskool orions

 

cheers bud,hoping for a feature once its finnished

 

nice car mate

love the rear clusters, where you get them? I don't mind my orange repeaters, but was thinking about trying some clear ones all round, those are spot on

 

there clears with the bottom half tinted red i think they look perfect!did have orange sides just b4 the pics were taken,think clear all round is a good move

 

yeah, always liked the clear look, although when I posted the pics of my new Orion on here, most people suggested staying orange.

Mine is a lot more standard looking than yours though, maybe that's why. My post is still on here, wee bit further down, check it out

 

will have a hunt chap yeah orange is good if ya keepin it near standard,never look bad

 

orange it is then

still really like your one's though, really suit the car.

Think all I might change in future would be the the RS bonnet for the vents, try keep the engine as cool as poss

 

Looks nice mate


Brian

 

fank yoo
RS bonnet is must i think and is on my list to!

 

could you pm me the details of the manifold please

 

PM'd

Nice ride but I'd bin the chrome strips all around the car!


Also have a Series 2 breaking here if you need any parts!

 

Looking good Carl

Looks like a good solid shell aswell

 

 

long time no hear young man,hope ur both well

lol,fp's,well i bet mine will be finnished b4 his!

 

Looking good bud!

 

What are they tinted with mate? Are they painted or is it red vinyl like what is used on window tints?

 

like that a lot nice onion

 

alright there mate i seen u about in ipswich alot, my mates got one almost the same as urs lol i mistake him for u everytime, my dad said u was stripping ur car down as he does the park and ride up there, ur car looks awsome i like the orions alot, good conversion as well should give u a few more horses.

 

Looks well nice, i like the orions aswell

Ive looked at the pics 3 times now and id be tempted to remove the silver bits round the window/doors/bumpers, still keep the black bits for protection etc but i think losing the silver will only do it favors

 

red tint spray,then a few coats of laquar!!!
yeah seen that orion about a lot!!!its a dead ringer for mine!!it used to be my mate moggys i remember him telling me!thanks for the kind words!i shall be working on her tomoz so feel free to pop over,or if u see me about,come say hi!!the engine should be good for bout 150-160 bhp with the mods its got,so should be good!
the chrome around the windows comes as standard,i cant mess with wht henry ford intented,well,most bits

 

yeh i will b sure to give ya a wave or flash (of the light varity) my car is playin up a lil bit at the moment but when its workin will come and say hi lol. His orion is off the road at mo with bust gearbox so u may not see it around for a couple of weeks hahahaha, see ya around.

 

i got a cabriolet my breaking so i got a spare if he needs one!even fit it at a good price

 

Its already finished and he's had it on the dyno but had some issues..... It revs its nuts off and the exhaust is too loud so he's getting another made up, some pulse tuning is needed, the standard water pump is crap and he's looking into making a dry sump fit

 

well,its all wired up and piped up bar the top hose,rad is in manifold is wrapped and now fits around the starter!had to make a cossie fan fit the rad as its thinner then the std one as the manifold is so HUGE!
induction kit is sorta on,tho it dont fit as the brake servo is in the way
so more custom pipes needed!!











just fuel tank and front end reconstruction to do!

 

defo gettin there bud i hope to see ya around in it very soon

 

looking great

 

Coming along well mate will be good to see and hear it moving

Rear lights suit it also, I wonder where I have seen that done before now?

 

i didnt copy u andy so ner

 

I think I might need to pick your brains about this conversion at some point Carl!

Wanna put a Zetec in mine
