So glad the coolant system has cleaned up and no muck in the header tank
Really made a difference to warm up and max temperatures seen on the dash
Can get on with other jobs now...

Well I’ve had the email this morning...
the Orion’s feature in RetroFord Magazine will be out early March

[poing]

Excellent!

Followed the build of this aswell as your red one(?) for years on PassionFord I believe. Much respect to you, awesome builds.

[Slammedorion]

Cheers
I’ll add pics once I get a copy

Feature due out on Thursday

This isn't my sort of car (I usually like standard stuff), but I have to give the OP maximum respect for what looks like a quality bit of work.

Whilst it might not be my cup of tea, as a car enthusiast, I'm very glad it exists.

[Andy-SP2]

You've made a great job of it and should feel very proud... You must have spent thousands of hours on that beauty..

The Orion’s magazine feature is out now March issue of RetroFord :thumb:

Nice one

My mate Chris had a fiesta mk2 with a 2.1zvh and that was gorgeous

I do like these zested turbo engines

OP - Would I have happened to have spotted you in Crewe this weekend pulling away from a petrol forecourt? (I was in the MX5). Your car looked stunning!!

Was me... cheers

Really nice this, I'm quite nosgalgic about cars from this era. Great to see one restored and modified so well.

I can't help thinking and saying though that she looks a bit over-wheeled, the rims look good but they could be an inch or two smaller for me and it would be a better proportion...

New ecu for the Orion
