I know they're both loved and hated on here, but i spent all saturday cleaning this for the Birmingham meet yesterday so i thought i'd put some pictures up on here too.
I know this car will split opinions with the styling, but other than the front smoked indicators, its how i want it to look. (they looked better in the picture i had in my head )

Its very much a Work-In-Progress, and next is a proper clutch, finish the interior and some 5 spoke 17" comps













All comments welcome

 

is that an escort back box? and thats the only thing i dont like!!!!

 

I like that a lot, espically the wheels. Like they match the colour of the car.

I like that alot mate.Well done.If it was mine i dont think i would change anything on it cause it looks spot on.I would maybe put some recaros in it though.

 

yeah it is. its basically an escort turbo system and i just fitted it when i did the engine. it does need to be lengthened, but its on "the list" . That never ending one of jobs to do

thanks

thanks

its got full 1600E leather, including door cards, but i havent got electric windows yet, hence why they're not fitted.

thanks for the comments

 

great car mate love it good luck gettin how you want it

 

Nice one, I love the onions. I got my exhaust extended by engineering at work.

 

Car looks awesome though mate!

 

stunning mate will look a lot better though on the rear with the lengthened exhaust

 

nice orion u got, alwaya regreted selling mine

 

I've always liked me Orions, hats off to you fella, it's looking good.

 

Cheers for the comments

 

very nice mate,would look even nicer with a saph cossie spoiler on

 

Really nice orion. lots of graft gone into it. Do you ever get in bother for the plate?

 

i like that a lot,just the exhaust to do and would be spot on imho

 

Nice mate, i love orions

 

Looks nice as it is .

 

If Im honest I actually like this one. Im from Milton Keynes and Ive only seen a couple Orions which looked REALLY shit, huge carbon spoilers and japkits n all. Because of this Ive grown to hate Orions but now Ive seen yours, Ive changed my mind. Well done fella

 

Don't do the Saff spoiler - done to death on Orions! I like them without, or with the RS spoiler, like mine!

Also on the exhaust, I reckon you should extend it BEFORE the back box, like I did. Long tailpipes look bizarre, lol

 

Orionmojo, I've got some nice Mondeo wheels forsale that would suit the Orion

 

not yet touch wood . i keep the standard plate in the seat pocket anway so i can hopefully plead innocence and swap it back straight away if i get an arsy copper.

cheers fella
sorry mate, the only wheels i'm getting next are some 5 spoke comps.

i hated it when i got it with no spoiler, but now i've decided to leave it without one for now. i'm after a rear skirt for it though, to bring the back end down abit more

Thanks for all the comments

 

good looking car you got your work cut out to get it how you want it...... ive bin there and it is all worth it and we have to meat up soon tony

 

cheers... i think

 

sweet that is,i used to have a 1.6i ghia ringed on s2 rims,love onions.

 

i li8ke the car, the fav bit for me tho has to be the lil blue line on the wheels

 

wow that looks really sweet mate. where did you get that frt bumper from that would look good on my bonus.

 

looks good also do u know when the next bham meet is

 

tidy looking orion, ive not seen one for years! yours also has the same graphic equalizer as my dad's yellow D reg one

 

The front bumper is a standard orion one (or base spec escort) with the orion RS option front splitter.

Keep checking here mate.
