Havn't posted in awhile. Reading back on this thread has made me realise how much of a confused facker I was haha.

So an update.

The Sigma is currently full time off the road with a stuffed engine and pretty bad body.
Plan:
-Paint job
-Engine
-Suspension
-Interior stuff
-Maybe converting to Stazza box

So yesterday I said hello to an engine and goodbye to the Stazz.

Yes this is the engine and carb setup that belonged to Superscan :thumpsup:

Today I cleaned two gearboxes and some other parts. Also started painting the Genies

btw anyone know how to downsize these pics, they are way to big!?

Have a look at Daintree Green

It's the factory colour on the 02-07 magna/verada (was used on my GJ Scorpma wagon)....the dark colour matched well with the polished PP's and the chrome window trimmings and door handles.......plus those cars also came out with a tan coloured interior....so if u have that in ur car also....it will match that nicely....and being a factory colour........it's cheaper and easier to match/source :thumpsup:


but thats just my opinion......everyone's different

Thanks for the idea! I was going to change the interior colour (it has tan now).
Interesting though....

:lol:

Panel work is sometimes the worst thing?
Here's some advice:
Concentrate on one panel at a time (small goals not big ones), it helps your head get through the job.
Every job finished is one job closer to the finish :thumpsup:

iiiiiiiiiiiii'm baaaaack

Thanks for the kind words guys.
Won't be having two tone.

It's been a few years since I'v posted or even touched the car.
I am now back living in Victoria and have my full license. This means I'm still weighing up different engine possibilities.

Hopefully I'll see some progress in the next couple of months.
