Thanks Ozdusterdave, haven't really considered that yet so Its time for some accounting seeing as I nearly finished... Total cans used so far 11 @ $14.90 this did the exterior of the car not including door jams, two wheels, and exterior accessories (wipers & small trim panels). Will need a 12th ...

Progress update... Well car body is painted so the bulk of the work is complete!! http://users.tpg.com.au/djsadsl/sigma%20painting/24.JPG http://users.tpg.com.au/djsadsl/sigma%20painting/25.JPG http://users.tpg.com.au/djsadsl/sigma%20painting/26.JPG All that's really left to paint is the wheels to m...

Another small update...

Final put on passenger side mirror which I have had in my possession for about 5 years... better late than never!?!?

Yep, Plasti Dip came up in my earlier research actually watched that exact video... though it was cool but wasn't convinced. Original paint on car was very poor (pitted and crows feet) and I thought this would show through the Plasti Dip add rust in the usual places and I thought it was best left fo...

PROGRESS UPDATE Christmas has been taking it's merry toll on my time thanks to working in retail but have managed to complete majority of drivers side apart from the detail round windows which is scheduled for tomorrow. http://users.tpg.com.au/djsadsl/sigma%20painting/13.JPG http://users.tpg.com.au/...

Mad Max comparison was a bit of a stretch but next mechanical plan I have been thinking about for a while is an SC14 supercharger which starfire did successfully recently (thread; supercharging my GJ on the cheap), I'll have the added fun of trying it with LPG.

Yeah time will tell on abrasion resistance and longevity. It's an exterior rust proofing paint for gates and exterior metal work so I'm quietly optimistic but Whites give a 5 year warranty on the paint if applied properly... love to see there faces if I put that warranty claim in. Strip discs I used...

Drive-Way Rattle Can Paint Job Just having some fun with the sigma giving it a rattle can paint job after a failed attempt at the famed $50 paint job using a roller... Starting point - Car has different coloured panels due to me smashing it a little and the paint is generally in poor condition due t...

Count me in missed the last one due to work... lets set a date just not the 4,5,25,26 Aug or I'll have to miss it again...

Interesting thread you have opened up here was thinking of doing the exact same thing to my GE sigma, all be it with the added complication of Gas Research LPG System. You've already mentioned a couple of things that hadn't though about so really keen to see where this goes, keep the experiences/pit...

Defiantly up for cruise in the new year, finally got old girl though rego and they let me back on the road... Interested in any venue really Wisemans Ferry (great place, nice drive out, great for kids), Wollombi Tavern (Really want to drive the Putty Road plus venue looks great!), Wollongong (you ca...

Cool, Papier-mache hadn't though of that, plus would give the kids something to look at on long trips. Go one step further and put blank paper up there and give the kids long pencils so they can doodle as you drive, potential for getting stab in the back of the head is high but hey wheres the fun wi...

Hi All, Just thought I'd share because I'm quite pleased with the result... My head lining began to sag some time ago and I stapled it up with a view to getting it relined in the future but that never happened because I have little cash to layout so I though to myself why not just spray paint it... ...

Hi All, Finally changed my wheels over after resolving a center spigot to big issue to some stock steels I got not that long ago. Problem is I was a bit rash with my tyre purchase and ended up with some 195/65/15 which puts the tyre about 3mm avay from the top of the strut tower... Is this to close?...

Hi All, Manual Conversion is proceeding steadily with some timely intervention from superscan811... next question is how long is the clutch guide tube which protrudes from the firewall on a GE sigma? Have a inexpensive non-weld solution just need to know how long to cut the tube... recon this will w...

Thanks Cheater thats where the skill part comes in have all the bits unfortunately there all the wrong way round... Have a reconditioned jap box with and extension and a poor condition jap box with the shifter in the right place... tried swapping the rear extension housing but can't for the life of ...

Ok due to time, money & skill constraints it's looking like the floor is going to get cut to complete my auto to manual conversion. Going to install a later model gearbox which has shifter set back with the extension housing. My concern is that this will place the gear stick to close to the hand...

thanks guys, thought that was an auto electrican job for sure... going to get some video before i fix it though!

Hi All,

Got a bit of bizzare problem... When I put my indicator on my tail lights go crazy... if I idicate left the right rear indicator will flash and both brake lights flash in time with the idicator!?!?!

Any suggestions...

Just looking at map... Wisemans Ferry... great location for kids, parking, and driving to from etc... was cruises there last time I went down... only problem is might be too far for people from south Sydney and Wollongong.

I'm in as well had a bit of a black patch over Christmas period where the car was unregistered so Wollombi cruise was out... was real keen on the wollombi tavern cruise because now all I want to do is drive the Putty Road all the way from Windsor. Parramatta park is good though plenty of room, conve...

Thanks for quick response!!

Hi All, Just having an issue with my headlights at the moment on a 1978 GE Sigma with the seamed beam round headlights... Can't seem to remember if the outside lights are the full beams or if it's the inside? Also when full beams are on all 4 lights are on right? Plus when lights are flashed by pull...

They are pretty different measure the center hole last night on my old wheels that cracked and the 15" stockies I brought and the difference is old to new is about 10mm diameter (i.e. 75mm old 65mm new) spigot bearing is about 70mm I think hard to measure in dark. Don't really want to file the ...

Just a follow up to this thread as I found something interesting... Managed to pick up another set of these wheels for $250 of eBay with three center caps which was good because I only had one left from this set and to usable Bridgestone potenzas, so happy days. My rule for eBay is good things come ...

And we have a winner!!! Rob20 you hit the nail on the head just checked the center spigot on the hub and its larger than the center holes in the wheels, consequently it does not sit flat! Ok, so next move would be to machine/file back the center spigot or center hole in the wheel? Love this forum......

Hi All, Ok, GE Sigma lowered springs only steering/suspension mod... was running 205/60/14 on a 14x6 rim with a P20 offset... I am now running 195/65/15 on a 15x6 chaser style rim with an P30 offset... new tires are Maxxis MAP1 tires where fitted to rims and balanced this morning but not put on car....

Scott, no fair you cut the grass... Shed looks massive at least neighbors dog will have something proper to bark at now!!

Mine just turned up one day… Was looking for a second car for the wife to use as at the time was driving around in her Barina. Some family friend’s knew we were looking and they had a neighbor who wanted to sell his car because he could not drive anymore. The Car had been sitting in a garage for 8 y...

Thanks for the suggestions guys and the phone call Scott... Tried all suggestions to remove the plug posted here but no joy so ended up removing the head as I had my suspicions about all of the spark plugs. Just for completeness here is all the information on this prob as it may help someone sometim...
