puppy Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 pretty much as topic says!! im new on here. I owner a mk3 orion, parts are pretty rare now so i fiqured joining this forum may be my best way of getting the bits i will need eventually. Anyway cutting a long storyu short, i had a mk3 cossie kitted orion, loved it to bits, rot set in beyond repair, so i salvaged what i could, found a neew mk3 orion and plan to rebuild it, here are some pictures so far!!http://i364.photobucket.com/albums/oo85/andyireland/andyorion2080_zps3557f378.jpghttp://i364.photobucket.com/albums/oo85/andyireland/andyorion2079_zps5a9314d3.jpghttp://i364.photobucket.com/albums/oo85/andyireland/andyorion2078_zpse9307112.jpghttp://i364.photobucket.com/albums/oo85/andyireland/andyorion2077_zps1089b7de.jpghttp://i364.photobucket.com/albums/oo85/andyireland/andyorion2076_zpsa117321b.jpghttp://i364.photobucket.com/albums/oo85/andyireland/andyorion2075_zpsf6dc6b09.jpghttp://i364.photobucket.com/albums/oo85/andyireland/andyorion2074_zps8c1bb63c.jpghttp://i364.photobucket.com/albums/oo85/andyireland/andyorion2072_zps8c198c76.jpghttp://i364.photobucket.com/albums/oo85/andyireland/andyorion2071_zps3a982425.jpghttp://i364.photobucket.com/albums/oo85/andyireland/andyorion2070_zpsa9acb29b.jpghttp://i364.photobucket.com/albums/oo85/andyireland/andyorion2069_zps6c97188f.jpghttp://i364.photobucket.com/albums/oo85/andyireland/andyorion2065_zps4f62d917.jpghttp://i364.photobucket.com/albums/oo85/andyireland/andyorion2064_zpsfb36e507.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lee grout Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 PLENTY of work lol. If you done it before though you should know what ya doing How is the door/rear arch moulding so much longer to reach the back of the car? Is it custom made or did you find a kit for the longer car? You got any other plans or is it literally gonna match the car in the sig? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Mexico Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Dedication there buddy, hope it goes well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puppy Posted February 15, 2013 Author Share Posted February 15, 2013 the kit was originaly from mc rallying especially designed for the orion, but it wasnt very popular and obviously you cant but it anymore, thats why i had to cut the kit off the original car. Im hoping to keep it looking the same as the one in the sig, it just looks awesome. My mate who`s a mechanic is looking into dropping an st170 lump and gearbox in. We got a donor car but it realy is very early days for an engine conversion. Im concentrating on the body for the time been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
