Default Pulled the old Ford out for a wash...

Sorry it's not a Impreza, been 8 years since I sold the Type R...
Still like to visit though...

Pulled the Orion out of the garage for a wash...
Only quick detailed, thought I best wash the dust off before its MOT...

A quick walk round...


And a few pics while it's nice...

Used t0 love the 80's Fords.......Had a couple of Grannies and a Sierra (125BHP 2.0i Ghia ) which I think is probably one of the best cars I ever had.

Very nice mate and a very nice colour

Can remember reading the build thread for this on passionford a while back.

I have a soft spot for an Orion, had two not long after passing my test. I did an RS turbo engine conversion on the second one along with all the RS kit and TSW 17s , thought I was the dogs bollocks at 18 in it!
