Whats a mk2 onion? Is that the mk4 escort?

I'm never sure "what mark=what mark" if you see what I mean.

A girl at work used to have a 1300 orion, it was an early one with slatted lights and chrome trim around the windows. I always quite liiked it.

Have you seen the Mk3 Orion done up like a cosworth? I think they look as good as the siera saphire cosworth providing they have the same grunt as one.

Your car has the same wheels as mine. Different car but same wheels. The back lights on your car look cool, especially because they are standard aswel.

Aye, I'm not one for modding the exterior much on cars, but i'm partial to clear indicators, so the only way to have them, while retaining the standard look was to get s et of clears and tint them.

Thinking of putting the ambers back on for a wee change though

not a mk3 fan personally but each to their own and it would have to be a nippy mk3 to have the same grunt as a cossie lol

no idea mate.

at the moment it's still running on the ghia management, so can't crank the boost yet. Only running about 3-4 psi, so it's not much quicker than standard.

Not looking to get it running much more than standard boost, as I'd like it to be as reliable as possible once it's done.
