Weeeeeelll after going thru about 4 cossies,i'm back to an orion!i couldnt afford a morgage and an cossie
well,here she is when i got her home,nice spankin mint 1.6GL!






to say it was clean was a understatment,MINT is the word i used,not bad for a ebay car!!!
soon got bored with the wheels so chucked my old orions ones on,cossie brakes and half tinted clear rears:




then a cossie spolier and a set of masitilys and a 4 inch outward rolled!!!





then disaster!!!i got smacked up the arse and pushed in the car in front!to say i was gutted aint half the truth!!!so off the road she came for the vital repairs,then a nice lil engine came up for grabs,a nicely worked 2litre zetec lump








before long she was cleaned and ready to take her new heart!! :00001753:









few pains later lots of time here she is today!!!just the bumpers to get done now,but im chuffed to bits and it goes like foook!









hope u all like her,i love her to bits

lovely car m8 i love orions, i thought id never sell my cab for anything but it would be an exception if it was for something like this

 

i prefer it in the after pic with the dark bit in the bumper

Very nice Carl and after a passenger ride I can confirm it certainly motors along as well, once grip has been obtained that is!!!!

When you get 5 mins mate... still waiting for pics lol

 

Beautiful Carl, really lovely looking car this. I'd love a ride in it at a meet sometime, bet it's a cracker

 

always up for rides oh,tht sound a bit dodgy
had a good pop with a nova pushing 170bhp with a redtop,i was pushing him most of it,not bad for a car loaded up and weights loads
not gonna turbo this one,keeping it diffrent!next one 4x4 cossie orion

 

oh great. got me looking for an orion now

Now that looks superbbbbb!

Looked good when you first got it, and it keeps getting better!

 

Love these, yours looks spot on mate

Have to say, I like it sooooooooooooooo much better with black bumper trim. Makes it look sportier imo

Will probably see you down there as I was planning a trip down myself

sweet car mate, sell me that drop skirt!!
how did you get the inlet to fit as when i tried it foweled on the brake bar on the bulkhead?!?!?!?!
had to fit these for now;

 

hello mate,thanks for all the good comments
i think i got a spare skirt at home,i got a few of each as spares
its a mondeo 2 litre inlet which leaves loads of room

 

4x4 wheels looks

 

yeh carl, when we gonna do this? want to do it to a fiesta too lol
car is mint peeps and keep the bumpers black i say

 

dont suppose you can get a pic of the clearance??
its just i tried the escort mk6 manifold and it fouled and i was told they are very alike to the 2.0l item?!?!?
also does your rev counter work ok or is it at half revs?
pm me about drop skirt please mate

 

very nice

 

focus one is even shorter

 

the engine is outta a focus so i think its a 2litre focus one,but looks the same as the mondeo one
thanks for all the comments,chuffed to bits
