Hello All, I'm new to this Forum and would like to tell you about my daughter's Orion.
This is a two owner car and has done about 90,000 miles and the engine and drivetrain seems really sound. The engine is dry on the outside and she says it uses little or no oil, but I have noticed a bit of oil smoke on startup, so it may need valvestem seals replacing.
It's fuel injected and pulls extremely well, no hesitation. She's a pretty good driver and never rides the clutch or does mad takeoffs or stuff like that. Trouble is, the body is really rusty. She's getting a company car and has to get rid of 'Orrie', but she doesn't want it to go to some young nutter who'll thrash it and trash it, but rather to someone who'll make good use of the good bits.
So she'll give the whole car free to anybody who fits that profile and I thought I'd put this notice in, in case anyone is interested. It seems a shame to make the whole car into a crushed lump when so much is re-useable.
Maybe by now, G-reg Escort parts are no longer of any interest, but for the price..could you go wrong!?
Please contact me on innovator@fsmail.net
Cheers!
