Default Best lookin Orion ive seen in a while!

Went to the Westside VW show today and there was a suprising number of Fords there today!!! My Mk1 FRS, there was a few fiestas, a green Mk2 FRS, escorts etc

But the Ford of the show for me had to go to the Orion below!...













And the best picture IMO


The guy is a MASTER at custom arch work!! Got one of my cars going into him to sort the arches out

hope you like!!

i like the arches, but the stretched tyres look horrible imo.

suppose it needs them tyres so it doesn't scrub too much.

Not something i'd ever have.

It's not a nice Orion it's a Euro-style gimp. Sure it does look great and the quality of the arch work is so good I didn't notice they weren't stock until it was pointed out. But the Euro-style is just that, "style", it is not about function - the Euro look is not safe, it's not a valid driving machine any more, but it looks great.

In Liverpool, there used to be this really really pretty prostitute you used to see... but that's the fault, no matter how pretty she was she's still a ho.
