i love orions ...should always have been called an escort though ...mk1 escort =saloon-mk2 escort saloon...why all of a sudden make the escort a hatch and then call the saloon version an orion

those wheels are the same as the zetec s wheels off the mk5 , and my st170 brakes needed a very slight grind and a 3mm spacer to clear

this looks really well looked after then went rapidly downhill with the adition of loads of red interior trim(except the seats) and loads of chavvy exterior mods(stickers,red mesh and intake ) ...looks amazing before it looked like it had ram raided halfords :( each to their own but smooth and...

you will need a mk3 hub, any hub from a pre 93 fiesta will be fine , the mk3.5 hubs have a bigger diameter shock bigger ball joint pin and a differnet cv , same idea as the racing puma /normal puma if you change to mk3.5 hubs you will need to change the outer cvs,ball joints and the shocks...

i would maybe be tempted with the conversion on a racing or an s1600 but not an ordinary puma, i wouldnt buy an early ep3 unless it was budgeted to do a rack swap with a dc5 hydro rack in place of the electric crap fitted to the ep3

306s are no half as bad for killing beams as 206s ...206s in general are very very fragile
