NICE! love the whitewalls....venetians will just top it off!

[Sigmoe]

coming along slowly, im happy



havent started on the inside yet, except for taking out the old parcel shelf, just going to make a new one out of thicker mdf put some speakers in
do the doors later.

anyone got any tips on straightening out the kink in the front bumper? its the only imperfection on it, like to try n fix it before i get another bumper.

welcome mate..tuff lookin sigma bro,love the whitewall look,sits nice

[shuggy]

that bumper is definately fixable. you will pay a lot for a bumper in that nic. you probably cant fix the dent yourself because you will cause the chrome to crack. take it to a chrome place and get them to straighten it. somethin like that cant see it being over 100 bucks?

[rob020]

is that a tassie plate on the car in the garage in the last pic?

where abouts are ya mate? nice siggy have to check out my gh sometime,
im after a bumper too ive got a straight bullbar though

[A112H]

Looks like a Victorian plate to me.
Sweet car by the way. What happened to the indicator lenses?

[rob020]

might be, tassie plates are blue too with the upside down triangle in the middle top


*edit* ok, it looks more victorian, i just got abit excited

[13bsigma]

i have a front and rear bumpers on JET at the moment. . they are in perfect cond. they are off my 87,000km GE. . they arte my backs ups for my 55,000km GE lol. . they are very hard to find. . shame your so far away. thats a hot GE. i love the GEs the best.

i dont know what happened to you indicator lenses, but i like it. just out some clear plastic over them and have clear indicators something different.

[ddt]

nice!
If you do get a quote for fixing that bumper, let us know how much it costs just to give an idea on what the real value of a straight bumper is.
Also I would probably paint back the silver line at the bottom of the grill at some stage (the one that follows the chrome trim line of the indicators).

hey mate, lenses were off to clean up / do all the globes etc
yea its a vic plate

[Sigmoe]

mini update-
been shopping up a storm this paycheck, little bit eek, its a bit too easy to spend money methinks.
bought a cheapie power drill,drill bits, jigsaw, staplegun, new socket set,more socket bits, set of car stands, tie rods n ends, bushes, bulbs
whole bunch of mdf, some jvc speakers for the new parcel shelf, some shiny chrome wheel trims,

perhaps other things too, now ive just got to figure out which parts of my dog to eat this week and i should be ok.

let the games begin

edit** mini update - no new pics yet,
the parcel shelf is built and in the car, real happy with it. speakers in.
cleaned up all the wheels, polished centres + chrome trims round the outside and little chrysler valve caps
back seats out gonna experiment with vinyl/fabric dye trying to match the top sun faded bit to the same brown as the rest.
demister things re-attached,
new sloted brake rotors came in the post today so ill get biddy with that on weekend
finished the rear upper control arm bushes, just gotta order th front half of the lower arm too

startin to get excited! rego just around the corner...

GEs are the best. You've got a tidy one indeed. Recently found a nanna-spec GE myself, only in beige. Yours is an inspiration. Whitewalls on 13s look cool!

[PROSSER]

neat looking parcel shelf

[Sigmoe]

new brake rotors in,new pads nice and shiny, another step closer to rwc just waiting til the next payment of money, then ill get some brake paint do the calipers n a good cleanup of the backing plate etc; give it a good pressure wash under the front end to.

made a wee bit more progress on the rear bushes, just gotta order another set for upper ctrl arm, and finish painting those bits.
in the mean time cleaning out the rubbish from under the back seat, giving the interior a good clean.

also the been raining a bit here lately and the boots collecting a bit of water, so i might need to re seal that before i put an amp/subs in there
also for that chrome strip that hasnt been painted yet on the front grille, im getting some shiny chrome stripping and im going to cut it to size and stick it on , see how it looks; fingers crossed it will tie in real well with the rest of the chrome line.

pete out

[Sigmoe]

another bunch of pictures seeing as works quiet and i have my camera cable with me,
some of the pics are older than the ones already posted but thought id put them up anyway to show a bit of progress

anyhoo -
the owners manual and map thingo, been with the car a long time, i like the old style bp ad!

the old hose going to the air filter was buggered , found some new hose cut it to size
yes its got clamps on both ends now

the finished parcel shelf on my workbench..

the dirty little cave at my mates house, whose kind enough to let me store it and work on it there til its rego
not much room to work haha

centre caps before a bit of a polish

afterwards with the wheel painted also and the chrome ring! nice and shiny.

and the helper

[ddt]

mmm i dig those nice shiney rims. Also those GE glovebox manuals are hard to get -i've never seen even one on Ebay though there are tons of GH to GN ones.

[Sigmoe]

mini update-no new pictures yet, but;

-now have all the stereo gear ready to go in, new headunit and speakers+pods for the front doors which i'll paint to suit the trim, took subs and amp out of old car, just need to get a new wiring kit for the amp.
- ordered a rear venetian, it is on its way, cant wait!
-all the rear arm bushes are nearly done, managed to remove them all myself with a whole lot of fire, sawing, hammering and swearing, had it down by like the 4th one but still a dingo of a job haha. decided to take them all to my mechanic to get the fresh ones pressed in, waiting to get them back now
-done the radiator flush, new coolant
-engine oil flush new oil new air filter new oil filter
