Absolutely love this car!! Just read the thread from the start! Doing a blinding job mate!!
I never thought about Moonstone on an Orion but it really suits it!
I used to have an Equipe totally identical to what yours was and I wish I'd kept it and built it into something special!
Keep up the good work mate, I'm looking forward to seeing the finished article!

Quick update. . . . Inlet manifold parts should be with me anyday now
I've now got front and rear strut braces for the Orion, hope the front one will fit 8)
Engine wise, just waiting on the sump to be done still
I've also gotta 170 mile road trip to make this weekend or next to pick up a couple more parts. . . 1 being a full s/s exhaust system

Seen the update mate . . . you certainly going to town on the resto mate. . . your work looks perfect
It should fly, just want it running for some of the shows this year, then back off the road for winter and a few tweaks I think. . .
Bigger turbo, bigger brakes etc etc

Sorry no upto date pics yet, mega busy atm. . .
Engine mount turned up tuesday
Taking the engine mount bracket into work next week for modding so it will bolt up to all 3 holes on the Zetec lump
Can collect my 2 toned flocked dash for this one a week on Friday

Dash collected
Got new Ford engine mount to fit
Had engine mount bracket modded to accept the 3 bolts that bolt to the Zetec
Steering rack is finally bolted back up with the new poly bushes added
And gave the zetec turbo'd Orion its face back
Freshly de-tango'd clear indicators and the new headlights all fitted
More pics to come now I got the camera working properly again :mrgreen:

Cheers
Freakpower's hydraulic clutch pedal box has been installed :mrgreen:
Another little job I've got out the way. . . see all the dodgy foam round the heater vents
And all cleaned off
I know it seems like nowt but stuff like this does my head in, so . . .
Also taped round the vent pipes to stop any leaks
Engine should be getting fitted over the bank holiday weekend all being well
CTS stage 2 box given a lick of paint
Hydraulic clutch hoses through into the bay now, also chucked the speedo cable through now I've found it
Finally fitted the freshly flocked dash to it. . . Cheers again to Raj @ AutoFlock MotorsportLooks mint!!!
ECU ( Adaptronics ) mounted in the glovebox ready for wiring into the rest of the car
Screwed the fuse box down and give the lid a good clean 8)
That'll do you for now :mrgreen:
