Default Series one front end

I own a series 2 Orion, which I am now starting to restore and it needs wings however i prefer the series one front end, can anybody tell me if I bought series one front panel, slam panel bonnet and wings it'd all fit the series 2 shell?

Thanks

Dont quote me on this but it's pretty likely. Ive seen a few escorts that have been converted from Mk4 to Mk3 using the bits you mentioned.

You could check the Hadrian panels website and see if the inner wings etc are the same panel part numbers.

Cross member is needed too which will mean you need a mk3 roll bar setup which ain't a bad thing.

Here's my old mk4 converted van
