Default wanting a turbo'd orion!!!comments welcome

as most of u know i sold my white s2 in my sig few weeks back.the lad had it a week and it was rear ended.
im tinkin of building or buying an rs turbo'd orion.(mk2 orion)(mk4 escort shape)
i could probly buy my old s2 back and swap all parts or i could buy an efi 1.6i orion and efi turbo it.whats peoples thoughts?
anyone know of any about?
or ones that are already done etc?
pics lol?
cheeRS.

reason i want orion is cos its 4 door.and i cnt afford a cossie.

Loads of good orion bases still about. you'll get a solid ghia and change for Ł500. Make sure you get one with a good back bumper though, you just CANT get them. anywhere. seriously.

Heres mine i built last year, and am still fixing problems with.

*edit*

you'll always have the slight sleeper look with an orion too, which i absolutely love.
