Hey there geezer101... mate I probably rushed the DeLorean purchase a bit, but I wanted a manual and had just missed out on a great one that was up for auction on eBay so pretty much jumped on the next opportunity. Got the call from the mechanic today though, and it's good to go so I'll be picking i...

Hey crystalmeths, Mate unfortunately my DeLorean isn't in nearly as good a shape as my Sigma is. As such it's been at the mechanics for the past month getting a stack of work done to it... so no time traveling for me at the moment. Hoping to get it back soon so that I can at least have some fun driv...

Great to see your Turbo back on the streets where it belongs mate... Enjoy!

Hey Shifta... Yep you have to drive them mate. I try to get mine out at least once a week. I'll be interested to watch what you do with yours once the resto starts.

Cheers... Tim

Thanks turbosigma, it's taking longer than I would have liked but I'm pretty happy with the result so far. Just need more $$$'s!!!

Ok first post for a while as I've been crazily busy... and I foolishly just purchased a DeLorean so now have 2 projects running at the same time. Fun! http://a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/543306_10151168095447627_602234625_n.jpg Hey I know it's not a Sigma but it has the same lights as my...

Hey Pier... It was great advice so much appreciated. I'm really looking forward to getting it back with all the suspension sorted. It was so much fun to drive already that I'm sure it will be mental with the rear dropped and tightened. Game on!

Well it's been a while since I've posted but I was driving and a massive branch fell out of a tree and hit the car. It's been an the paintless dent removal place and then the panel beaters for the past 6 weeks so as always, everything is taking longer than expected. http://a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hp...

Hey Steven, It was great to catch up with you last week mate. Your car is amazing and if I had the space then I would have taken it off your hands and driven it back to Sydney (maybe I should finish restoring #292 first though). Thanks again for the door trims, much appreciated! Good luck with selli...

Hey amgis_obrut,

Thanks for your post, I'll chase one of those up next week.


Cheers,

Tim

That looks like a factory GH Turbo to me... keep us posted and good luck

Hey A112H, Yep I've got one of those so I'll make sure it's the next one I do, won't be till early next week though. I've only got one copy, which I want to keep for my collection, but I'll see if I can dig any more up. Btw, the scans are pretty high quality and on Facebook I've uploaded them as hi-...

My family owned the Chrysler (and later Mitsubishi) dealership in Naracoorte SA. Dad just sent me over a whole stack of old car brochures so I'm working my way through them (with the help of graphic design superstar Will Connors). Enjoy :) Chrysler GD Galant http://a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-a...

Hey Pier, I'm not so sure about the mud flaps, I'll have to have a closer look at some other cars and make a call then I guess. Once all of the lowered springs are in it will be easier to make a decision.

Hope you're well mate.

Cheers,

Tim

Hey Steven,

Yep that sounds like a good way to do it. I'll get working on it next week.

Thanks,

Tim

Hey Steve, thanks for the info mate. Did you attach the K &'N unit straight to to where the air filter hose connected or did you extend it out further? BTW, I'm flying over Thursday night and will be in Perth on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Really keen to check out your car. I'll send my number ...

That's great news... well I'll get started on it and see how I go. Thanks again for your help Leigh, and btw those caps arrived in the mail this morning.

Cheers,

Tim

Hey Leigh, Thanks a heap mate... that's what I was expecting, and K & N make those as well. http://www.knfilters.com/images/62-1519.jpg http://www.knfilters.com/images/62-1220.jpg http://www.knfilters.com/images/crank_rubberbasesteeltop.jpg As far as you are aware, are there any problems with th...

Hey Guys, couple of quick questions; 1) I'm looking at replacing the air filter on my GH Factory Turbo with a K & N set up. Any recommendations on the best system to use and how much better does everything run with this improvement? 2) At the moment my crankcase breather feeds back into the orig...

Ok the project continues and I got the car back today after a bit more work being completed; - New exhaust system is in with thanks to the team at Central Coast Mufflers in Tumbi Umbi. The Sigma now has a 2.5 inch stainless steel system from the turbo back. It goes (and sounds) brilliant. http://a7....

Wow big job ahead of you there, but that's all part of the fun I guess. Looking forward to watching it progress mate.

Ok, I'm finally getting these build photos in some sort of order. So once I got the car back to Sydney we basically gave it a very good detail inside and out. These shots were taken over a couple of weeks just before it went in to get the suspension and exhaust done. Here we go... http://a5.sphotos....

Hey Lance, Under the radio cassette player is a Zemco CompuCruise... it's a trip computer/cruise control. They came out in 1979 so it was actually installed in the car by the first owner (he was an auto electrician). I'll be keeping it in there as it matches the rest of the car so well. At the momen...

Now that the Christmas and New Year period is out of the way I can finally get the restoration of my Sigma Turbo happening in earnest. I'll start from the beginning and then add to the thread as the various jobs get ticked off. The car is a November 1981 build Blue/Black GH Sigma Factory Turbo and i...

Hey DDT... Thanks mate! Yeah I had the numbers wrong but had already made the video. Thanks for the heads up

Hey Steven,

Good luck with the sale. What is the other project that you're working on?

Tim

Thanks for the comments everyone, great to see such an awesome Forum in action :thumpsup:. If it's any consolation to the SA crew I'm originally from there and the rest of my family still reside in Adelaide, Naracoorte and Robe. Growing up my parents ran the local Chrysler dealership in Naracoorte, ...

Hey Jason, Thanks for the comments, much appreciated. I have wanted one of these since they first came out. Mate I would have been totally up for the cruise but I only bought the car from a guy near Adelaide (Murray Bridge) and actually live in NSW. I drove it home the day after I picked it up. I'll...

Hi Guys... Finally got a 1981 GH Factory Sigma Turbo! Here are the details... * November 1981 Blue/Black GH Sigma Factory Turbo #292 out of 500. It's a very tidy 2 owner car with 194,000 km on the clock. The car is totally original, right down to the Philips AM/FM Stereo Cassette Player and Speakers...

Hi Guys... Finally got a 1981 GH Factory Sigma Turbo! I purchased it just near Adelaide the other day and then drove it home to Sydney. Even though it hadn't been registered or driven for over a decade it didn't miss a beat and sat on 120 for 1500k's. Awesome! - Site name: Tim - Location: NSW Centra...
