Andy_Foz Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Got myself a new project last week. Its a mk3 Orion with a 2.0 zetec conversion, Escort Cosworth front brakes, Mondeo wheels (these and the aftermarket suspension will be changed when I can afford it) and a few other basic bits and pieces. looking forward to keeping you up to date with my changes to the car over the coming months! Andy The heart of the beast! :-) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v738/Sub_Culture/20130831_115637.jpg And a few other pics! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v738/Sub_Culture/20130831_115613.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v738/Sub_Culture/20130902_195215.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v738/Sub_Culture/20130902_195203.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v738/Sub_Culture/20130902_195147.jpg RS2000 bonnet and grill have been ordered and hopefully fitted within the next couple of weeks! :-) Well that's the front 60+mm lower than oem. Hopefully get round to the back next weekend. Will be going lower at some point but this will do for now as I'm not sure how low the xr3i bumper will be with a splitter on it. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v738/Sub_Culture/20130908_151422.jpg you can see in this picture that I need to bring the back down level now! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v738/Sub_Culture/20130908_153618.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOHNDQ Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 You'll need to change the bonnet latch to mate or bonnet won't close when you fit a post 92 one onto the face lift Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whats the general condition of the car, any rust anywhere, scuffs?? Whats the general plans for it then? Thanks, Lee. Not too much rust fortunately, just a bit of cosmetic rust here and there. Structurally though she seems solid. Has had sills done in the last couple of years. I want to lower her a bit more. Got a rs2k bonnet and bumper ready to go on. Will probably come change it for a matt colour but can't decide what colour at the moment. Battleship grey is tempting though. Should have most of this done over the next couple of months! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
