Nice one dude,that door is bit rusty , how is it in the boot around the tailights and up under near the boot hinge ? It might be worth taking the front gaurds off and having a sticky beak in there too. Are you planing on keeping the same colur combo ?, I reckon the red,grey looks pretty good.

Boot Seems okay.. behind tail lights area in the centre is a lil infested, i previously rust killed it.. but should have better look. Im wanting a new boot hinge cos mine is just stuffed! seems to be no rust round there though. MMM well i might check that out during the week thanks dude! I like the red/grey combo, but i need the cheapest way atm so maybe just red :\ .. Still gotta get different steering column :facepalm:

You're copying the wrong tag, ur sharing the url tag, not the forum board one or the one that can be tagged aswell.

http://www.sigma-galant.com/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=21

Read that gives you an overview on how to upload pictures correctly. :thumpsup:

And nice sig man :thumpsup: glad your getting some pics up (H)

So i stripped the TP of what i need.
PLANNING! PLANNING! PLANNING! PLANNING! PLANNING!

Also bought a modified Inlet everything good accept where the throttle body mounts.
I have to figure out how to mount it on there seeing i think it was modded for an XF throttle body.
Thinking of cutting off throttle body end on my unmodified one and welding it on there, easy fix? lol
Image
Image
Image
Unmodified :^^^^^^^^^^^^^


Ive decided im not going to move the battery so i'm planning where im going to sit air box and also where im going to run the airflow pipes.
Image
Image
Image

Also looking at places to mount Mr. Surgey (H)
Thinking under back seat depending on depth of tank or above diff which might not be a good idea.. so still unsure. Any ideas?
Image

Balance shaft removal kit.

And for the record i need this finished by the end of January 2011 :thumpsup:

After sussing out where the alternator mounts i realised the magna one wouldnt bolt on.
So lunchtime today at work I swapped the insides of the magna alternator and placed them in the Sigma housing.
After work i put the alternator on... It works, too easy (H)
