Here was my first Sigma. Was a Wherret special painted candy apple red and ran a hot 2.6 with twin 45 webbers and direct post nitrous. Took the running gear out and sold the body to a guy I worked with who did not look after it at all. I bought it back some years later absolutely f**ked four ways from sunday. Didnt have one straight panel on it and the paint was severly faded it had to be crushed. :(


Hey Leigh,

Did you or one of your mates buy it back off me after I got rid of it? I honestly can't remember what I did with it. I bought it for $50 - poor thing was not the same car as in your pics and i wonder how many hands it went through before I got it. Here is a photo when it was out the front of my place.

I don't think I've ever told you this but I only ever saw your car once in it's prime. Mate Chris ( turbo scorp ) had a small fishing boat and we were chilling off Christies one hot summer day and saw this amazing thing come over the rise on the bluff, heading towards Beach Road. It was your siggy and even from out on the water the sun was reflecting crazily off the paint and I swore it was the best Siggy i would ever see :)

yeah i bought it back off you with all the grand intensions to restore her. reality was it was easier to start again with a straight car than it was to fix it so it ended up back at u-pull-it. it certainly is an amazing colour and the photos dont do it any justice.

-Broken '81 GJ Scorpion- More problems than a mental institution. Should be back on the road soon :D
-Project '78 GE Scorpion- Almost mint, bar some rust and the lack of an engine. Bar lowering, factory twin downdrafts, a cam and an exhaust, I'm keeping this one as original as possible, 4G52 included.
