Still looks lovely, I had a Mk3 Orion as my second car and loved that. Your car looks ace.

Stunning, I've always wanted a Orion, my dad had one when I was a kid and loved them ever since. I have the magazine with you feature in, kept it since it was near enough the perfect Orion in my eyes, just stunning, top work!

Looks like it rolled out of the factory, went to the one of the best tuning shops and you just got the keys yesterday. Top work, looks great!

The more I look at this, the more I like it.

Are you taking it to any shows over the summer? I'd be really interested to see how it looks in the metal.

Stunning and subtle . moonstone is a lovely colour.I had mk4 escort van that I wanted painting in that colour. The painter refused to do it as the body required too much work.
Love the car,looks almost too good to drive smile

Top Onion!

Hopefully you will be selling in a year or so when I come to change cars... ;-)
Never sorry this was built to keep... Had one as my first car, 2nd, 3rd... Had a couple of Imprezas... Since then had another 3 Orions including this one.
I guess the recent investment in the interior means you still won't sell it to me?

Keep up the good work!!!

Fantastic car, there's something about old school Fords.

This particular example is a superb illustration of what can be done with what some would consider an ordinary car. It's a beautiful piece of work and is now a very special car indeed. Kudos to the OP !
