That's a fair call.....i personally don't like the brown vinyl wrapping the dash board....so i'd like to replace it

you don't think it will work very do you....

Why does it concern you????? i think the dash upholstered like that looks really good!!

well i'm doing DIY on the upholstery for the doors, trims, dash, instrument cluster....the works.....i did it in my old wagon and it worked an absolute bloody treat!!!

Mind you, that quote was the only one i had and it was from a rather well known shop

WTF!!!!!!!

Looks like an egg carton !!!! lol

I'd be tempted to not fill the holes and get personal plates "GRATER"

But honestly...wouldnt the panels lose all the strength???
And also, the car could look like a golf ball once its painted coz ur painting on a canstantly changing surface aren't u???

Aluminium sheet metal is a nightmare. A gauge thin enough to make a replacement body panel will have literally no elastic integrity (if something knocks it, it will not be able to spring back into shape) Ask a panel beater who's (tried) fixed a bonnet on a Skyline... Take a page out of the HQ stock...

no there's no favours owed...thats he job...it's what he's qualified to do i'd love to get the panel gaps as minimal as possble and get the body 'image' as smooth as possible.....if that means i can get rid of panel gaps altogether at the front...then great....i've even thought about sealing up the ...

ahhh i get ya now...thanks for that And for the record...no, im not made of money....if i were.....there'd be a sigma running in Top Doorslammer or at least in Comp Eliminator as a AA/G car!!! And for the work, it just so happens that my step-brother earns a living in car restorations and spends his...

rivets??????

no no i mean (for now) have aluminium guards and bonnet so i can still use convential bolts

i just wanna try and lighten the bloody so its not such a fat-ass lol

Hi guys, As you've probably read, i'm planning on building another GJ wagson with the GJ scorpion nose. Since i wanna keep the original engine, it wont be terribly powerful....but unfortunately it will be a bit of a heavy weight....not good for performance. and since the car will be street registere...

Howdy geezer, Wasn't planing on using the '63 as i prefer the toquey '54, was just curious for more racing applications, dry weight, weight distribution for handling...that sort of thing....i'd like to build a lil toy drag car as light (and as powerful) as possible.....see how low we can get the sig...

does anyone know how much lighter the 4G63 is compared to the 4G54 in complete form????

If you want a few ideas on weight reduction.....ask the guys in the 2Litre Sports Sedan racing catergory.

They have a weight limit of under 800kg.

Nah that's a fair call there A112H, i don't mind hearing criticism as long as it's honest.....and like i said, the car didn't exactly become an instant hit...it was more of a 'growing on me' type of car.....but i loved it for the fact it was a modification that I (personally) could do and it still h...

LMAO believe it or not BAD-SIG, i still occaisionally go to the slot car track in dandenong...and i very vaguely remember that conversation....from memory you were interested in how the scorpion nose was put on. Oh and HEMI_26, that front bumper was more of a test really...i literally bought a can o...

This is my weapon of choice...sadly it's gone...but will build a better version of it before much longer

That's not the vic Supercruz....i can't remember when that show was on...but it's pre the personalised plates (they were HASNOS), pre twin exhaust pipes (i had twin 3" chrome dump tips on either side of the car) and also pre interior change....i had the a brown/beige colour scheme and to change...

Yeah it went to Calder park many times as a spectator....the big show it went to was the vic supercruz in Jan '08.....if u were there, you may've actually heard it too with the twin pipes on it (it was hammered ALL weekend)!!! It had a VERY unusual note.......It was also embarrasssingly slow....but ...

this is the pic of the front

Hi guys.....after a bit of help from my gf and 84GKSIG, i've finally got pics of my wagon up here http://i541.photobucket.com/albums/gg387/84GKSIG/scorpma/Scorpma001.jpg To cut a long story short....this is NOT a factory Scorpion....it is infact a GJ Sigma wagon with its nose replaced with a GJ Scor...

hmmmmmm, fair point....never actually thought of that none the less, be great to see a Sigma do those sorts of speeds........at the very least....i could always use it a fun drag car at the friday night street drags (in melbourne) i think in the end i'll stick with the hot street look...but its alwa...

so with a car making close to 200hp atw (with fuel and driver im guessing it will weigh about 800kg'd or so).....what sort of speed would i expect to see......mind u....i havent actually mentioned all my tricks yet

well i've thought about having the front guards and bonnet all one piece.....but remember.....i still gotta "budget concious" fibreglassing i've heard is quite expensive.......i dont know anyone who can do it cheaply.....or if there is a DIY kit for fibreglassing panels...i'd do it myself....

Hey guys, I've toyed with the idea of building a (budget) purpose built track car Having said that, i wanted to try and achieve a feat that (at least i'm aware of) has never been done before... I'd like to build a purpose built salt racer out of a GJ,K or N Sigma sedan....and run it to a speed of 20...

I also toyed with this idea in getting the GJ Sigma wagon, Grafting on a GH Scorpion front end, and converting the wagon to a panelvan using scorpion doors/starion/cordia doors. (mind you, i wanted a blon V8 with side pipes on it too but that would've been too wild and woulda looked like a hot wheel...

id say 50hp at the push of a button would be a good punch.....even if the motor made 200hp....50hp is still a 25% increase instantly....a good increase in anyones book i'd imagine The only thing i'd be worried about is using the Nitrous often enough that you get used to it and eventually become reli...

ahhh of course ur right...sorry...i was thinking of the starion front struts....sorry about that.....and yes...he was refferring to the H series of galants.

sorry guys....my bad again

Hi guys, I've recently seen a black cordia racing around the Vic tracks I noticed he had bigger brakes on the front....so after a quick question..he revealed that the car was running stock struts with galant (4 stud) hubs he also revealed that these hubs are the same as a magna (4 stud) hubs. So in ...

Did the PWS GH's ever use disc brakes in the rear??


You could alsways look at cars like the SE variants. However if your wanting LSD...not much choice i'm sorry
