Evening all,

I've just signed up, as i've just put a deposit down on an RS1800 which I should be getting hold of beginning of June. I remember Summer was on here back when I had a Mk6,she reckomended me this a while back. I'm on a number of different sites as MR G (or Mister G) so some of you may have met me before.













It's standard and clean, just how I like it, Ihave a few more pics if anybody is interested. My plan ar purely some more polish, maybe an engine bay tidy up if anything a senible ride height and just enjoy.

Can't wait

My current daily



2.0 Zetec Supercharger work in progress

[nicola@modifiedlive]

Nice!

[DAGET]

Thanks guys!

The orion is the same as the one that I begged my Dad to buy when I was three years old, we had it brand new for about four years.

Its a 1989/90 Ford Orion Equipe

Currently in build with a 2.0 Zetec Silvertop (completely being stripped and rebuilt) which it will run first before having a Supercharger bolted on (probably a Jackson racing one)

- Fully adjustable TCA's
- Koni Adjustables
- Painted and smoothed engine bay with wiring through the wings
- 300mm ST170 discs and Mondeo Mk3 Callipers
- Fully Polybushed
- Rs Turbo F/R rollbars
- Ford Mudflaps lol

Aiming for a senible 200bhp







It's my baby, I'll never sell it, just can't wait to drive it again!

If anybody is interested i'll post up pics of my other Fords, I've had a Mk6 Fiesta, 3x XR3i's, A Mondeo ST Tdci and 2 other Onions!

[Fraggle]

You got a collection there fella...Get some more pics up would love to see the other onions and xr3i's

[DAGET]

Cheers guys, The blue one is another Equipe, standard save for spotlights and flaps, the SE500 was a 1.6i Escort cab, same colour though!

Thanks for the kind comments, all my cars have to be clean!

welcome to the forum mate.
you like ya retro i see, some nice motors

[DAGET]

Love a bit of a retro ride mate, I drive brand new cars all day, it's nice to drive something a bit different

[jayrs]

i here ya, when i got the xr2 i remembered just how much fun there were, i had loads between 97 and 2000, but 2 were "mine" then i got the RS in 98, but yeah, getting behind the wheel of a 80s ford is nice its just a shame you feel how slow they are compaired to todays cars but like you, i have a 2 litre sat waiting to go in the xr

[Fraggle]

Lovely set of motors

Welcome to the forum, some nice cars there. The RS1800 looks mint!

I'd be interested to see how the supercharged zetec project goes, something a couple of people have looked into before on here.

[Dave5300]

sweet mother of god i love your collection!! have a 1600e mid budget restoration myself!

[DAGET]

Cheers guys!

Dave, get some pics up, or if your not already on it join the http://www.orionregister.com

Love the Orions. My dad had one years ago and it was such a great little car!

I was talking to him tonight about getting one to replace my runaround, something like a 1.4 Ghia (or CFi Ghia), but finding one is so difficult now

The blue one looks very nice - mind me asking how much you were asking for it?

[Spunkymonkey]

My god thats a smashing collection you have/had
Love it!
You obviously like detailing!

[Ratspeed]

Welcome matey. I love the onions!

[DAGET]

Cheers guys, I'ts not that I like cleaning, I just like clean cars!

[RSGeorge]

Wow some nice fords there. I had an escort eclipse back in the day that was the same colour as your red "onion" if I remember rightly its Flambeau Red Metallic. Lovely colour when properly polished like yours is

[Summer22]

Im so jealous of your cars hon, was nice to see you yesterday x

[DAGET]

Your absolutely right, Flambeau!

Summer, its always lovely to see you, sorry we didn't get more time to chat!
