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!

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

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
