Hi all

Thought id start a work in progress thread for my Orion.

This was it when I bought it...





A 2 litre Zetec transplant, EsCos front brakes and GMax suspension

Took her down a bit lower. Front still needs to come down another 5-10mm to be fair







Today, i trial fitted my RS2000 bonnet and (debadged) grill.



It needs painting but the whole car is going to get a respray soon. Probably going to go for a milspec colour but cant pick which one yet. I have a RS2000 bumper in the garage ready to go on too but going to paint that when i paint the car before fitting that.

Don't see many of the later Onions getting any attention, sounds like a nice little project mate!

 

Looks good!

 

Looks nice that

 

I had one just like that, I replaced my s1 with it back when I was a young un, nice to see one, cant be that many left these days.

 

Wow, cheers for all the nice comments, fellas. It had some sentimental value to me as I had a white Orion as my first car back in the 90s (albeit a mk2). Still can't pick what milspec colour for it. Nato Green seems a bit overdone now. Becoming the new satin Black I think!

 

Nice car mate,you don't see many orions around these days

 

Now thats smart.

 

RS2000 bumper painted and fitted this afternoon. Next on the list is to paint the bumper and grill the same colour as the car...!

 

Gave the car a thorough clean up today. Paint came up a treat!

 

i see its on ebay shame you are selling it looks nice.

 

As suggested I got hold of a cossie grill and trial fitted both again. Still undecided. I need to spray the white bit behind the grill but what do people think? RS2k or mk5b???

 

Much happier with the set up now. Fitted my cosworth headlights (got to adjust the drivers side as its not straight!) and painted behind the grill black. All looks a bit tidier now.

 

 

Like it had a mk5b for years and years...

 

Crying for escos wheels looks rely good

 

Thanks folks. Sadly I had to sell this cara few months ago. Trying to learn how to airbrush so have had to sell to fund my new hobby. Miss this car MASSIVELY. I know I'll never find another one as clean. :-(
