For about the same price (maybe even less) of converying your Orion you could go out and buy a Saph Cossie

I think you will find that Ford made more Orions than Cosworths

But I guess you really like Orions, and it would be unique......

Hey Buddy idea I love it, if you can weld it could be possible to do it yourself but it would be preferable to get a specialist to do the job for you,
if you could get your hands on an escort cosworth floorpan and front end jobs a peach as they are the same wheelbase as each other and use basicly the same main body.
If it were me doing the conversion personaly i'd go the whole hog and convert it to 2 doors and add the cosworth arches with a tasty rear spoiler to the boot lid.
But there again i'm a bit of a show off and love to improve on anything that the manufacturers build.

How pissed would you be for underestimating the bitch parked next to you when it totaly obliterates you?

I've never seen an Orion cosworth conversion, certainly something different - someone on www.escortevolution.com says he had one though, not been very forthcoming on details, would be interesting to hear of

(p.s. is that your real name or a screen name? The only time I've ever heard of someone called Winter was a chap on this 'coach trip' programme on channel 4!)
