TBH I wouldnt mind changing the springs and shocks. . . will see how things go. . .
Still go a few things to sort first, wants a few little bits of paintwork sorting
Got the flocked dash coming for it
Got c/l and e/w motors to fit and wire up
Possibly fitting a full Ghia trim???
Still got the full polybush kit to fit
Wanna treat it to new front tca's and track rod ends
And got a million jobs to finish off on the other Orion build

Didnt see this coming, but due to the forsale section on here. . . and these wheels coming up forsale just round the corner from me. . . I thought why not
Tried one of the 16X8 Comps on the rear tonight, took a few pics. . . cant fit them yet as still need to fit my 195/ 45/ 16's to them. . . hopefully with the stretch they should tuck under the arches. . . if not will get the grinder out and if that dont work will have to raise it up a fractionCouldnt put the car down on the ground, the tires were sat on the arches so it should go lower yet long as I can sort the catching out
They certainly fill the arches more than the Mondeo rims did

16X8 Comp TH's are now fitted with my 195/ 45/16 inch Uniroyals off the Mondeo rims 8)
I've left it slammed for now, it catches on all 4 corners still over bumps etc. . . the rear arch lips have been totally cut off. . .
I think it looks awesome on these rims, far better than the Mondeo rims

A few phone pics
New Recaro seat covers fitted. . . fit perfect, rear arch lips touched in for now til I decide to S2 kit it or not.
Filled the fuel tank up to give it some extra slammage, its catching like f**K on the back now

Fast Ford snapper
That looks stunning! Easy one of the best looking Orions ever!
Deffo don't stick a kit on it though, looks nice and clean without. Plus the rear door area of the kit always looks messy when it's been cut.
