Those caps in the bodywork look like Ziebart rust proofing system. It was a 1980’s thing of injecting wax oil/tar mix into the vehicle cavities. They used to do it at the garage where I worked and would explain how it has survived in such good condition. That Orion really is a good example, amazing condition inside as well.
Was never a big fan of Orion's but got to 1 minute into this video and I'm a massive fan now... Looks amazing as a series 1 / Orion... Nice work Fella !!!
Beautiful Orion and looks to be built well and to last, love it Years ago a good friend of mine had a mk2 orion 1.6 ghia, many happy memories of bombing about in that, had a soft spot for them ever since Another great video Adam, thanks for sharing 👍
Old Fords are simply the best this Orion is one of the cleanest/nicest Fords I have seen (I drive a BMW e28 520i 1985 its 100% original un moded) retro/classic cars over mordern all day great vid love the car
He's done a nice job with that making a one off ,fair play to him for not going over the top and shoving a yb motor in it . Nice cruiser and cheap to maintain , everyday classic
I enjoy seeing these cars you feature. I don't browse fb or the forums much so I'd likely not see these cars without you showing them! The owners are usually a good laugh too👍
Remember being a passenger in a 1.6i ghia in red doing about 120 down the m11. Petrified. Was an older man's xr3i. I was amazed by the computer it had. Small things. Also. Loved the pepper pots they had.
Very nice,appealing upload as I owned a mk1 Orion 16 ghia back in the day...my bro owned a mk2 Orion 16ghia i ..but I prefer the earlier shape...becoming very rare now..👍
I had a Ford Orion back it's day many many Years ago.. ..The reg number was E175FBB ..It was a 1.6LX ..I owned it from 1992 until 1995 (Sadly it went to car heaven in the Year 2000) The 1.6 Litre CHV engine fitted was a weak engine .. But it was a "Canny car" .. back in it's day ... He has done a good job on this car..It looks canny mint ... Ford did do a genuine factory Luxury Orion..It was called the 1600e . It had a luxury interior and luxury trim ..They are Rare as hens teeth now... It was a very smart motor back in it's day ... Good video.
Super tidy mint car. Nice one. In New Zealand we had the Ford Laser sedan and the Mazda 323 sedan based on that shape. I had a 323 supreme on Momo Ferrari Mag wheels, back in late 90s. Was super comfy with velour upholstery.
Couldn't get more perfect, but Ha! Try find an '80s Orion Cartel body kitted Orion or just the kit, I saw one back then used to park near town where I lived, found the body kit in a magazine around the same time "Cartel kit" the rear bumper valance swept under the rear of the car, never seen a better kit on a onion but the 1600e and the RS as this one are honest perfection
Absolutely well done that man!! That is exactly what Ford would have done back in the day if they did an rs turbo orion minus the turbo and thats in the post by the sounds of it !! 👏 👏 👏 👏 🍻 🍺 🍻 🍺 🍻 🇬🇧 🇬🇧 🇬🇧
Loved the Orion, was my very first car infact, a 1.6 GL, someone had swapped the automatic choke for a manual one though and I had an issue or two surrounding that every now and again. This one looks mint and would have loved this one.
Oh my gosh that Orion is just something. Back in the day my mum used the have one not sure on the engine size she had. Something that ford should of produced and that's me saying that even though I'm a current owner of a clio 200 cup.
well done man well done nice i had a D reg 1.6i ghia that i put a rs turbo series 2 arch kit on rear doors were a task getting gaps right and in filling also had to lengthen side skirts after that had a black g reg late mk2 that i put fiesta rs turbo engine in with t3 big intercooler n all series 2 running gear
that is mint I've had MK1 Orion 1.6 Ghia and a MkII Ford Orion 1.6i that had RS Turbo Wheels and Bonnet off my mates RS Turbo when the engine blew up and The RS Boot Spoiler and my mate had the rarest of all Orion's the 1600E it got stolen and burnt out all they wanted was the wheels
I had an Orion biscane when I lived in Jersey 20+ yrs ago, it was a metallic sky/electricy kinda blue, wind back retractable sun roof and ub40 on, one of my favourite cars and I must of had 100
My mate used to have a similar orion he worked at a car spare shop. he must of borrowed about 100 grands worth of stuff for his cars. his had a turbo engine fancy paint job and the red light from kitt in the grill..
Did he gloss the dash? ☀️😎🤩 My mate had one of them was spotless. All done up and fancy sound system in the 90’s. He picked some drunk bird up one night and was pulling away at about 15mph and she slumped over onto the steering wheel he somehow pressed the accelerator and put the car into a bollard. Wrecked it! 😂😂🤦🏻♂️
Love the vids mate. Is that Micheal carols old car the lotto winner. Got mixed memories of these cars my dad had one and traded it in for a Sierra sapphire with a cossie spoiler then literally took me to hospital and had my hood removed
Lush car lot of work went into that build, but he could have hoovered it as floor is minging and not sure about the clear-coated dash .but that engine is sweet as a nut perfect seaburn to shields cruiser
Bit gutted it didn’t have an RS Turbo lump in it but an epic car nonetheless. Will always have a soft spot for the 🧅. Had a MK2 1.6i Ghia as my first car with the pepper pot alloys and everything ♥️
So it’s not turbocharged?That thing is crying out for one if not to really make it sound as good as it looks. My cousin used the Rover Tomcat turbo setup on his Zetec 2.0 Series 2.Never the less it is a great take into what Ford could have made if they put some proper cash into a performance Orion RS. Awesome looking car.
Lovely looking car just needed the light gaps sorted and little bit of finesse and less dash cleaner. Like it loads and Paul seems a top dude very humble with great work im just fussy as the car deserves to be 100% with the great job done on the rest of it. I wouldnt turn that its stock engine and box will go for miles of reliability its more reliable than a new car that

Love how he's done the rear arches bet that took some time !!!
You don’t realise how much work has gone into fitting that S1 kit. There hard enough to fit to a genuine series 1. Nice build fella.
Best Orion award 🏆 and that rear arch work is impressive! He’s got the skills to pay the bills
That is mint , Orion's were so underated .

Ford missed out there. Should of done an orion rs turbo. Absolute perfection that is!!! beauty adam killing these old school car reviews my man😎👍👍
Wow that is gorgeous well done fella ford missed a trick there lol
"Cleanest Orion I've ever seen," he says... 2 mins in I've seen enough
I love Orion's. Of the cars I've owned, the Orion is my favourite.
Was never a big fan of Orion's but got to 1 minute into this video and I'm a massive fan now... Looks amazing as a series 1 / Orion... Nice work Fella !!!
Looks awesome doesn't it 👌🏼
@@Adam151082 Unbelievable how clean the rear arches came out man. Love it cheeRS for another belting video bud.
Had the pleasure of seeing this car up close and Paul is a great lad to talk to, I'd mine turns out as good I will be one happy man
Great video, takes me back to the glory days of fast ford/ max power and raves.
Makes me feel bloody old. But in a good warm fuzzy way. Brings back loads of memories.
that's mad lol, I passed this on the way up to Seaburn on a drive and said, "That's summit Adam would be in to doing a review on". Good stuff.
Absolutely mint👍✌🏴
Beautiful Orion and looks to be built well and to last, love it
Years ago a good friend of mine had a mk2 orion 1.6 ghia, many happy memories of bombing about in that, had a soft spot for them ever since

That is so so cool, he’s nailed the factory look there, absolutely love it 👍
Is that a rocky burn??? 😂 Took me right back to the 90’s
Rocky burn!! 😂
😉
That made me smile too lmao
Doing some interior welding like, aye?
That's about the era when shell suits died out I reckon
He's done a nice job with that making a one off ,fair play to him for not going over the top and shoving a yb motor in it . Nice cruiser and cheap to maintain , everyday classic
wee gem of a channel
Learned to drive in one of them 😃 great job looks factory thanks for sharing guys
I enjoy seeing these cars you feature. I don't browse fb or the forums much so I'd likely not see these cars without you showing them! The owners are usually a good laugh too👍
That's got to be one of the nicest Orians ever and just as clean as a brand new one I would love to have that that is for sure
What a build. Nailing the ford content adam proper unique content.
Back end always looked awkward , but that's what made it individual, the R.S white lightning look suits it.
Remember being a passenger in a 1.6i ghia in red doing about 120 down the m11. Petrified.
Was an older man's xr3i.
I was amazed by the computer it had. Small things. Also. Loved the pepper pots they had.
Christ that's immensely clean. Fair play, coolest Orion out there.

Exelent love the old orion ford defo mist a trick with not pimping up the orion
My favourite bit is the end - do you want to plug Insta or any social media?....Nope
Very refreshing
Super tidy mint car. Nice one.
In New Zealand we had the Ford Laser sedan and the Mazda 323 sedan based on that shape. I had a 323 supreme on Momo Ferrari Mag wheels, back in late 90s. Was super comfy with velour upholstery.
Many layers to this Onion, cool car, chilled owner, nice1
Christ he like his Dandy dash 😂😂😂😎😂😂😂😂😂
Imagine the sun glare off that!! 😎 💀
Thought it had been varnished 😂
The dash board is horrible.🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑
Looks like it’s been painted, should’ve done it satin or matt really. But still a great example . Nice one 👍
Couldn't get more perfect, but Ha!

When cars had character , recently just sold a.Alfa Romeo gt backline ,only car I fancied with a bit of character
This is my old Orion had it in 2017 really nice job is that!!
You had it when?,as the standard blue old banger?
markcozzie yeah matey I just used it for what it was
The fit and finish is exceptional 👌..
If David blunkett built it 🤣🤣
Very early Orion registered October 1983 was a GL originally lovely looking Orion nice job
That’s a stunning Orion absolutely perfect
What a great looking Orion. Fantastic buid
Absolutely well done that man!! That is exactly what Ford would have done back in the day if they did an rs turbo orion minus the turbo and thats in the post by the sounds of it !! 👏 👏 👏 👏 🍻 🍺 🍻 🍺 🍻 🇬🇧 🇬🇧 🇬🇧
This is the best onion I have seen to date 👍
Ford did do a sport version of the Orion basically RS bodykit and alloys but all mods done at RS dealers not "Factory fitted"
Proper tidy job on cutting n extending that body kit off the series 1
👍
Used to own an Orion back in the 90s, it passed me off 1 to many times one day that I deliberately drove it into the front of my house 😂😂
I used to have a 1.6i Ghia in red, F reg.
Pepper pot alloys were the dogs😁
Beautiful example Love it Well done
Loved the Orion, was my very first car infact, a 1.6 GL, someone had swapped the automatic choke for a manual one though and I had an issue or two surrounding that every now and again. This one looks mint and would have loved this one.
A great education on Geordie accents and dialects!
Stunning conversion! Looks amazing. Just needs a crack-free dash to be perfect.
Cossie spoiler on an Orion was a popular mod back in the day. Personally I prefer the Mark 2 Orion but this car is immaculate!!
Also the Mondeo estate spoiler on the Fiesta RS Turbos :)
Oh my gosh that Orion is just something. Back in the day my mum used the have one not sure on the engine size she had. Something that ford should of produced and that's me saying that even though I'm a current owner of a clio 200 cup.
I like that alot i think it would look even better with the round spot lights in front of the grill.
well done man well done nice i had a D reg 1.6i ghia that i put a rs turbo series 2 arch kit on rear doors were a task getting gaps right and in filling also had to lengthen side skirts after that had a black g reg late mk2 that i put fiesta rs turbo engine in with t3 big intercooler n all series 2 running gear
class as usual adam top channel kid 👌🏻
that is mint I've had MK1 Orion 1.6 Ghia and a MkII Ford Orion 1.6i that had RS Turbo Wheels and Bonnet off my mates RS Turbo when the engine blew up and The RS Boot Spoiler and my mate had the rarest of all Orion's the 1600E it got stolen and burnt out all they wanted was the wheels

Never had an Orion but was always something I lusted after.
Rocky burn 😂 if you know you know 😂
This looks mint!
Dangerous car Orion’s the boot always wanted to overtake the front
Very beautiful car well done ✅
i had a Areg 1.6 ghia injection in red 7 spoke rs alloys miss that car
Dont know why but "Geeorge benson!!!!" Made me laugh😂😂😂
Done well mate, really wants a turbo to go with that badge on the back
Love the accents, so similar..at one point it sounded like you were talking to yourself Aye 👍🏽
Sound fella. Funny that he could give 2 fucks about social media, I chuckled at that.
Did he gloss the dash? ☀️😎🤩
My mate had one of them was spotless. All done up and fancy sound system in the 90’s.
He picked some drunk bird up one night and was pulling away at about 15mph and she slumped over onto the steering wheel he somehow pressed the accelerator and put the car into a bollard. Wrecked it! 😂😂🤦🏻♂️
Little masterpiece that
Love the vids mate. Is that Micheal carols old car the lotto winner. Got mixed memories of these cars my dad had one and traded it in for a Sierra sapphire with a cossie spoiler then literally took me to hospital and had my hood removed
He done well wirh this looks clean and nicely done
Respect
Always preferred the Orion shape.
Reminds me of my 1.6i Ghia though I never felt the need to clear coat the dashboard. Nice condition though.
Lush car lot of work went into that build, but he could have hoovered it as floor is minging and not sure about the clear-coated dash .but that engine is sweet as a nut perfect seaburn to shields cruiser
I loved my Orion ghia wish I had it now looking at the prices they're fetching.
Lovely clean outside, striking looking, but loks like he spayed the dash which looks shite, but I would still love to have it
Bit gutted it didn’t have an RS Turbo lump in it but an epic car nonetheless. Will always have a soft spot for the 🧅. Had a MK2 1.6i Ghia as my first car with the pepper pot alloys and everything ♥️
Lovely car, the dash is questionable though 🤔
Stunning
So it’s not turbocharged?That thing is crying out for one if not to really make it sound as good as it looks. My cousin used the Rover Tomcat turbo setup on his Zetec 2.0 Series 2.Never the less it is a great take into what Ford could have made if they put some proper cash into a performance Orion RS. Awesome looking car.
Very nice car, lot of work gone into it , 😁👍
Cannot beat the old fords. They don’t make cars like they used too 😭
I've 3 new fords , 2 mondeos and a focus ,. Piles of shit all of them everything broke on them .
Stuart the messiah of old school motors 🙌🏽
Wow.. She mint.. Great work
Jesus that's sweet. 👌🏽
What's the rear door cards out of, did the 1600 orion cards match the mk1 rs turbo? Stroke of luck if they did eh!
I used to laugh at ricer orions in the 80s.. everybody wanted the rs kit for those who couldn't afford a real one..
Lovely looking car just needed the light gaps sorted and little bit of finesse and less dash cleaner. Like it loads and Paul seems a top dude very humble with great work im just fussy as the car deserves to be 100% with the great job done on the rest of it.
I wouldnt turn that its stock engine and box will go for miles of reliability its more reliable than a new car that
Really think ford missed a trick not making a orion RS , spoiler if the cossie sets it off nice,
Aye that's clean as F underneath 👌 🤣
Beautiful 😎
If you want your Cosworth to be quieter you should fit some dynamat under the carpets and inside the door panels. 👍
Or turn off the engine
Nicely done 👍
christ thats stunning
Two proper nice geezas
"Escort cabriolet S aye" 😎
Why's the center console so shiney?
That's incredible, wish ford produced these from factory!
