If you've got the space, and can find a complete car that's suitable, I can tow anything up to 3,000 kg's in the old girl, you'll just have to arrange car trailer hire and fuel for said beasty.

Sigma's can be found for very cheap complete just gotta keep your eyes peeled

I'll quite happily donate time and vehicle to another member in need :)
Don't try to insure a 1984 Galant Turbo 2000 with RACV, they'll insist that it only came out with a super charger, and that the turbo is an illegal mod........

Arent we lucky to have a inhouse comedian here on sigma galant :x :evil: :!:

Instead of bagging other people out y dont u congratulate him on his effort hes obviously working very hard on this car and very determined btw i think that drawing u did was awesome man would love to see that thing on the streets.

Dont listen to ppl baggin out ur ideas your building the car for u not anyone else ive given up on this website quite simply because of the 1% of tools on here bagging out my ideas. Good luck with the car dont give up on it and dont buy a vs like u were asking about pour ur money into this thing get a ford laser as a daily there reliable cheap and easy.

And btw sigma project i will return when my cars built just to shut u up.
thanks man, mate don't let the few tools get to you, and mate, if that question about being related to you totally went over my head (didn't realise it was supposed to be bagging me out) mate like you said, I'm building it for me, so I don't really give a shit about the haters, I post up here for the people who may be interested simple as that. Yeah I am thinking about a few different cars for a replacement daily, but I don't want a fwd. If i do get one, it'll probably be another twinky corolla, love those lil beasties!. Thanks for the support though, do appreciate it! :)

while checking out a few wheel websites, I came across these babies.. they're perfect for the look I was wanting, they look quite similar to the drawing I posted earlier in this thread... only problem is they're 18" and I doubt they'd fit the Sigma... DOH!

While these aren't the same style of rim, these 17" x 7.5 Rims are 4x114.3 and +25 offset.

Very close to what you would need and legal.

Cheers.

yeah thanks for the link but not my style of rim. I'll keep the measurements in mind though (will be ages before I buy new rims, the current GSR 14" 4 spokers will have to do lmao). I want something as similar style as I can get to the rims in my drawing and photoedit.

that wont work on the front of a GH

My 17x7 rims with a spacer are equal to a +20 off set and required the spring platform to be clearanced, it now clears by about 5mm

If i was to move the wheel outwards it would contact the guard

the rims in the link would need 12mm spacers and the spring platformed clearanced to fit a Gh

well I just bought a used Autotechnica wood steering wheel and boss-kit for $51, considering all the other boss-kits i've found are $70+ alone I'm fairly happy, don't know if i'll keep the wheel itself, but it's better than the factory twirler that it currently has

I'm interested too. How's it going?

I bought a repair section for the front guard from Rare Spares, apparently they suit GE-GN :banh: took a day and half to get the shape right before we could even get the welder out, probably would've been easier to start with a flat sheet :hit: Good luck with it..

My guards were almost as bad as yours and the back screen was plenty rusty.. http://www.sigma-galant.com/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=5449 but the only other rust on the whole car is in the front screen.. None in the doors, behind the rear wheels, or in the boot area..
