I have a Verona (Orion) here in Brazil, I always wanted to transform it into rear-wheel drive but I didn't know how to design it, I found your video and I had the light at the end of the tunnel!!!! Excellent carExcel
Me and my brother put a 2.9v6 out of a grannda in to a medical 4 cortina estate then cut it down in to a pickup and it was savage really drove well twin webber 5 speed Sierra gearbox pulled like a train and upset lots of sill boys loads of fun around plymouth
Good Afternoon Al, Fudgey and Terry. What a very Beautiful Ford Orion Mark 5 with a BMW E36 2.8L Power Unit. I really loved the Shiny Paint work in Tormaline Green. To finished the look of this Beauty, some BMW BBS Wheels. I really liked her stance and Kerb Side Appeal. Terry, had done a Superb build on this vehicle, I really liked the slight touch of Mercedes Benz Single Wiper Unit. What a Great runner and everyday vehicle. I really liked watching this video Al. Thank you for sharing with me.
Love the m52 powerplant, I have two 328i bmw e36s, one coupe, one touring - both manual. I’d put that engine in everything if I could. Suits the Orion very well. Nicely done. Bet that’s a giggle to hoon around in.
BMW don't bother me to be honest I like my fords and had a fiesta MK1 supersport and xr3 escort back in the 90s trying to save for a Capri project my self Terry's mishmash is nice and done really well must of taken some time and i bet its fun to drive be nice to see it again but finished inside 👍
@@6DDIESELSDorsetwell I would have it on the road it's a very good shell and Terry has done a great job so a roll cage will go in before it's finished
If I know Terry (which I do quite well) then it will end up with a 300+bhp cossie lump in it. Definitely need to show ALL his other toys!!! Got to get him to get the blue one out of hiding and roadworthy again!!!
Used to love the Orion 16i Ghia's...they were just like XR3i's with a boot.. Nice👌, be like hens teeth nowadays 😢 Love and appreciate the work that's gone into this one! 💯% Nicely done ✔ 👏
That’s superb!! Always loved that era of escort/orion! Speaking of conversions, you guys should do a m57 transit conversion. It just so happens I have a candidate here ;)
Friend of mine has married a Subaru Legacy Outback H6 3.0 to a custom chassis and a mk5 fiesta bodyshell. It is simiarly silly, but unlike this, is quite obviously a frankensteins monster
Bloody hell that car is awesome clever guy looks very good hay Al, fuggy is it identifying as a Ford,or a bm,😂😂❤ keep your hands off fugg 😂❤ have good one guys
If you go back to a video of a 2014 sprinter we rebuilt the engine on its about 16-18 months ago you can see us fix the same model of engine back then 👍
Oh boy he done a proper Job on that BMW/ Ford E36 love child , lol . Did you know that in YCR , the line up of car body repairs are BMW & the rust is quite bad ( sorry fans of BMW) it's really sad , l hope what's his name Welded good & proper 😳😳😮😮 so they don't part ways ....as in "getting divorced " 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 (Yorkshire car restoration)=YCR Part 2 , now he has to work on a stretch Mini... with a big 6 Cylinders from the M G range ( British stock only )😜😜😛 🥴🥴🥴🥴😮😮😳
Dull man fact of the day: the mk5 escort flopped at launch and Ford started rebadging the Orion as the "escort saloon" That was so the Orion sales figures went with escort sales figures to try and bump them up a bit
IIRC the mk5 was badged orion the mk6 was badged esxort, as you say the escort sales had slipped behind the astra, in response to ford dropping the orion badge Vauxhall dropped the Belmont badge and called it an astra Belmont to get sales figures up
Holly hell, awesome craftsmanship! It looks like factory floor, would be hard to say where bimmer ends and ford starts. Superb idea, loving it!
Im lost for words, must be the west country air that makes you old boys do these lovely things down there
Don’t we just love very skilled people.
That is a great conversion such a clever chap
That is unbailable, what a job he's made of that.
Proper sleeper 👏. Great video as always 👍

That lads a genius. Absolutely brilliant looks factory. Has he any ideas on an electric car that works he'll make fortune
We love a bit of bonus footage on the weekend. Great job on that conversion. Is it a Ford Bunion or a Broomwin which is an anagram of BMW Orion.

I love the thought process, tape measure, yeah that works 😂, then cracks on with it 👍🏻, brilliant video once again.
Just goes to show how good he is. Brill!!!!!
There’s a mk2 cortina in the Wigan area with a bmw straight 6 diesel in it out of a 335d. Spoke with the guy and it’s mapped to 350bhp .
😨😯😱
Love a well converted car as much as I don’t like a badly converted one. This one is right up there, top job!
Love this, so well built it looks fantastic!! Proper weapon!

I would say it's more of a British Racing Green, lovely colour though. Good job.👍( Maybe paint the Trabant in that colour Al....erm!.....maybe not).
Looks amazing Al I think you should build a sleeper diesel !!!
I’ve got a 300hp recovery truck, no one sees that one coming 👍
@@6DDIESELSDorsetThats every bit as good as a sleeper 🤔🤫💪😊
What a cool car. Very nicely done. A good fun video. Have a good week. Marc from Australia 🇦🇺

It’s a track car fella hence the lack of seats 👍
@@6DDIESELSDorsetwell I would have it on the road it's a very good shell and Terry has done a great job so a roll cage will go in before it's finished
That's a pretty awesome conversion 🤙
The level of workmanship that has gone into that car is incredible. And the paint job is cool also. Great video Al!!
If I know Terry (which I do quite well) then it will end up with a 300+bhp cossie lump in it.
Definitely need to show ALL his other toys!!! Got to get him to get the blue one out of hiding and roadworthy again!!!
That's awesome work hats off to the skill level.
That’s incredible. Terry is a very talented chap 👌🏻
The man is a genius, that is incredible!!!!

how and where would you start to do the conversion...very clever indeed
love it looks fantastic great vid guys
Incredible work. But why, surely the BMW would be a better dynamic driving car and that guys skills would allow him to produce a glorious example.
Originally bmw was rotten on the sills door posts and some of the outer front mounting points hence it got cut up 👍
That man is a genius
That’s superb!! Always loved that era of escort/orion! Speaking of conversions, you guys should do a m57 transit conversion. It just so happens I have a candidate here ;)

Absolutley ruined a 1 owner orion😪exceptionally well done tho and that was a lovely ford colour.

Genius apart from it being petroleum. Yuk.
