ok got myself a GN time for panel van action Ive got some issues, the body was better than expected when it arrived but its been owned by some electrician wannabe nutcase. anyway It has an immobilizer with no remote and it was on gas but now has no condenser.
I want to make sure its a runner before i start the bodywork. If someone knows how to reverse wire an immobilizer or has a wiring installation guide to one of the above it would be greatly appreciated, my only other option is to remove all the wires and redo it all minus the immobilizer and gas crap.
under the dash
in the engine bay
the car and on a side note I hate these crappy plastic mirrors anyone wanna swap front doors?

Thankfully it's a carby. How good are you with tracing wiring about the place and your knowledge of all things automotive electrical. First thing to do is find out how it is immobilised. If when you turn the key and the starter motor engages then it's probably just disabled with the coil power wire.
Easiest thing to do is to find a workshop manual and find all the key wires you need to start the car and find out which ones have been cut and spiced into the immobiliser. Typically they will be the wires connecting to the ignition key. It all depends on how keen the guy was in making it hard to bypass to how hard it will be to sort out.
Is that thing with the fuel lines and wires going it it in the engine bay pic a fuel cut-off solenoid If this is the case it might have this as the only stopping it running. It all depends on how many different wire links have been broken to disable the car.

Glad to see you are getting into this.
I thought it was a great concept from when you first suggested it.
I will be watching this one closely to see how it comes out.

Meh SA is lax as I will just fang around in it, if I get defected I will have a chat to an engineer.

A few years ago a mate and I chopped the roof of a GB sedan he had laying around. We got away with driving that around for a summer before getting defected
OK had some setbacks time for an update.
thought I would publish this. looks totally legitt
I said a lot of swears when I saw all this crap...
When I pulled the plastic strip off the side I got an eye full of this quality
These are my donor body panels out of an econovan
Is this one of those leaky GN heaters I hear about?

It wasn't a fuel cut off solenoid, I thought that "fuel saver" thing was a solenoid before I pulled it off and saw the sticker. It never was on gas all that electrical crap is still a mystery.

that fuelsaver thing is identical to the lpg cut-off solenoid attached to my bi-gas converter... i realise now that it wasnt the solenoid i wanted, which was the one on the fuelline to cut fuel when you swith over to gas... what was that fuelsaver thing attached to??

what would you change?

Nothing major mate, main thing I saw was that I would flush the window on the wagon part. I think if it was factory you wouldn't have the extra step. You have a body line and should flush the rest with the 1/4 panel.
Yours only has a twin step to the 'window' / 1/4 panel area but all these have a single step.
Don't get me wrong mate, what you have done is sweet as and I think it will be awesome. I would just suggest the above to flush it out
would love to have seen it with the B pillar moved back and the door lengthened to suit but still you have done a bloody great job
I though about chucking a scorp door on there, woulda been a bigger door and it would have been pillarless. but that would have been tricky and I woulda had to cut up a scorp to do it. next time

That looks awesome. Keep up the good work.
I can't believe I haven't seen this till just now. There are so many members now, and so much happening on here that view active topics just isn't keeping up for me anymore?
Tubby, that is the best looking Sigma I have seen. How are you going to finish this baby off? What wheels etc? Wheels can make or brake a car. Are you going hot rod, or just factory look?

very nice work mate, wel done
did you weld the rear door up?
where the hinge was for the rear door did you bog it over once welded shut or put new sheet metal in there?
what I did was put spacers where the hinge meets the door which spaced the door back, I then run a weld along the back of the door to attach to the body...easy
then I welded new sheet metal to cover the hinge. was a bit of a pain and a bit fiddly but it turned out OK.

so you running with the doors you got or getting some ge/gh doors? Just interested cause your drawing has the old type doors with full window glass and mirrors off door, which suit the old school look you're going for more I think.
sweet.
