I know progress has been slow, been working silly hours earning ££££ to fund the project . . . Off work for a couple of weeks so its flat out on the Orion for abit
Interior needs a clean buts its starting to go back in



Starting to come together quickly under the bonnet, engine is stripped, just gotta order the pistons and rods etc



Dash temp fitted, I've got another dash I think i'm gonna have to send away for flocking . . . need it doing asap really, anyone help with contact details ?



Door cards fitted to, temp fitted the equipe inner door handles ( different colout to the door cards ) gotta find some mint grey handles or get the spare set I've got painted ( anyone help with a colour code near as for the interior door handles? )

Retrimmed Saff wheel looks chunky!!! And keeps the factory look



All side windows in and all working, front and rear screens are booked in for fitting tommorrow ( had to order a new front screen )



Roof lining and sunroof in, a pain to refit but come good in the end



All electrics have been tested and are working which is a plus, just had to fit the retrimmed Recaros. Its really starting to get there now
So, tommorrow front and rear windows are being fitted, wednesday im fitting the Gaz coilovers, adjustable tca's, front and rear anti roll bars with poly bush kit, might even get the Cossie front and rear brakes bolted up

Looks a lot different since I last saw it mate I will have to pop round one night and take a look in the flesh.

I wont be going on Sunday either. I want a door skin for mine so chose to have that instead as the rest of my money is for the respray wish I had the resources to get mine done at the same time as yours would be cool to have them on the road together.

Oh and I keep forgetting to ask if you sisters Lupo is behaving now?

nice work mate how come your selling sev

slammedorion

Theres 2 going round here atm . . . both make me miss mine

slammedorion

Sev was bought last year with the intension to sell on this year, I just wanted to do some shows this year if the ZT shell wasn't finished.

If I keep Sev much longer I'd end up having it painted and spending on 2 cars.
I just wanna concentrate on the 1 now

jaysrs-s1

thats giving me the kick up the ass i need..i still wana do my mk1,but the misses wants me to get rid off that on concentrate on the mk2..realy need a garage,lol..
good work,i love the moonstone,if i keep the mk1,il spray that black,and the mk2 il leave white i think..if the misses gets her way,one motor will probly end up in the scrap yard next week,her choice,the mint mk1...

slammedorion

1 pic taken in the light . . . can't be ar*ed to push it out today

andyorion

Looking good Chris

marky_g

looks mint in that pic

combi van man

that is 1 orion i would have,i never thought i would say that but i just did,i personally would get them imola's on it as i love them wheels,ive got a set on my sapp,but its your car,top job mate

slammedorion

The Borbets are slightly wider at 7.5J and will fill the arches abit better. You dont see Borbet C's about much now, so even more reason for me to leave them on the Zetec Turbo shell
Its different, but not in your face. . . and it'll stand out at the shows for the right reasons. . . Its starting to look good

Cheers for the comments

danny_boy699

i know what you mean about the borbets mate, i want another set as the off set on mine are et30 and stick out about but can i hell find them (think i got a bargian for £40 with 3 new tryes)

slammedorion
