Roof racks for wagons (sigma & maybe galant?)

HI guys scouting around the wreckers recently and spotted some roof rack which are the same as the sigma. XC-XE falcon wagons and commodores of the same era (VB -VK??) have the same roof racks see images. would need the pipes cut down though https://fbcdn-sphotos-c-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xfa1/t1....

Thanks Dave I've had a look at that and its pretty much a step by step for polishing the wheels, thanks to the contributes

however what I'm specifically trying to suss out is the rims that aren't painted red in the recess or they left natural metal or painted (if so what colour)

fuel tank sumps

Hey guys,

curious to know if anyone knows why most fuel tank sumps are a wedge shape rather than a box or any other shape.
I suspect its a drag racing thing, but I would have thought a box shape would be the best for everyday application.
interested in peoples thoughts

cheers

Re: External lift fuel pump - ecotec conversion

Room underneath is an issue, being a wagon no good in the boot/cabin and I like the idea of keeping the system simple 1 pump etc. Probably going to be similar ballpark cost (clean tank & sump vs. Second pump, surge and fittings)
