No reason why you can't get it up to or better than mine you already have one that looks good as it standsw which is half the battle, there is alot of potental there and I am sure you will make good use of it.

mate its superclean. seriously. shame its a low spec, but with me going to aus in 3 months i dont know how far i can take it, or if its going into storage while i'm away. you'll see it at the essex met though
in tha lasy pic you can see the boot doesn't match up though. it doesn't leak but also itdoesn't match up, you can see why i wasnt sure if it had had a smack or if it was fords build quality haha

no doubt is a lovely car mate, but no chance of you winning this argument. mine might be standard at the moment, but she's got big shoes to fill!!

Ahhhhh its not that clean......its good for a 113k motor though

I see someone spotted it when i was in Bristol the other day though, put a smile on my face

Yours looks a tidy un aswell, although it hasn't got a sunroff, but its one less part to rot

yeah, that was tom. you dont see any orions round brum now. i sold my old gold one to my mate, which is now black, and i've seen 1 other equippe in a year. the bit i like about them apart from the rarity thing is they can still hold their own against the new plastic. saxo's 106's 206's and most other 'hot hatches' all think they have an easy win. thing is lots of people have moved onto civics and subaru's now . might have to RWD it

and mine has got a sunroof not rot though, 1 blister around one of the drainage holes and 1 blister on the off side rear sill/arch. not bad for a car that lived its whole life 15 or so miles from the sea.

*edit*

oh and the munky who made that front plate should be ashamed cos thats seriously on the piss!
