Default my mk2 orion 2litre zetec start to finnish!!

Weeeeeelll after going thru about 4 cossies,i'm back to an orion!i couldnt afford a morgage and an cossie
well,here she is when i got her home,nice spankin mint 1.6GL!






to say it was clean was a understatment,MINT is the word i used,not bad for a ebay car!!!
soon got bored with the wheels so chucked my old orions ones on,cossie brakes and half tinted clear rears:




then a cossie spolier and a set of masitilys and a 4 inch outward rolled!!!





then disaster!!!i got smacked up the arse and pushed in the car in front!to say i was gutted aint half the truth!!!so off the road she came for the vital repairs,then a nice lil engine came up for grabs,a nicely worked 2litre zetec lump








before long she was cleaned and ready to take her new heart!! :00001753:









few pains later lots of time here she is today!!!just the bumpers to get done now,but im chuffed to bits and it goes like foook!









hope u all like her,i love her to bits

Very nice Carl and after a passenger ride I can confirm it certainly motors along as well, once grip has been obtained that is!!!!
