Mk5 ford Orion

[Jmdunstan]

Hi there IV recently brought a 1993 Mk5 for Orion and the only repair panels I can get hold of are 5 door escort sills and arches , I'm wanting to know if these are the same shape and will fit the Orion , any help is much appreciated ??

Hi Jack, as an owner of 5 previous Orions (1983 'A' - 1995 'N') I can confirm there is no difference in the panels/sills/arches between the Escort and Orion until you get past the rear door.

Even the exhaust is the same except that there is a 7" extension tail pipe for the orion since its longer than the escort.
