G'day folks,
This is my 1985 GN. I bought it because after many years of commuting on a range of different motorbikes, this year I felt the winter and decided it was time to buy a cheap commute for the coldest and wettest of days. This is when my relationship with my $500 Siggie started, I wouldn’t call it love but I really like the old girl and now the bike rarely leaves the garage.
I’ve done a few things to her since we met, new lowered king springs all round, Monroe shocks at the front and pedders at the rear has her handling a bit better. Some nice shiny Pee-Pots with Perriles help a little there too. Also fitted a disc brake diff out of a gn Super Saloon.
The old girl has also proven to be cheap and reliable, driven every day on LPG, and even done a stint as the family car (with 3 kids) while we where in between our family transport (Tarago).
I say its not love, but our relationship is blossoming, I'm becoming obsessed and the wife’s suspicious about the time I spend in the shed so maybe I’m just in denial.

Some pics

When we first met


Full of the family, family of 5 was no problem, the wifes only complaint was no central locking,


And after some loven

nice work man.
the peperpotts bring it up so much better,
i can see this thing becoming a long build in the future.....
i reckon a gsr lip kit would look good if you can find one...


hope to see you on the cruise....

Dean.

looks great man love the polisht wheels!

Ah, soon to be a stunner...
The wheels make it. Is there any other wheel that makes a late model sigma look so good so easy?
Nice work Dan.

All it needs now is SG.com stickers...

haha the bug has biten hey mate,
well done she is looking great!

Catch you soon Dan

Did you buy the rims polished or did you do them yourself?
They look pretty good...
Dave

Thanks guys for the comments.

Dean...Yeah mate , I do have some long term plans, the suspension/diff/wheels was stage 1. Stage 2 is next Feb when she comes off the road for rust removal. See ya at the cruise fore sure.

Dave....I got these P.Ps off Ebay for $360 bucks for a set of 5.Thay came with Perrelli tyres (50%),wheel nuts and a brace,thay where already polished but thay had been in a shed for a couple of years ,so needed a bit of a hand polish by me.Yes ,it most definatly needs some SG stickers, Pm sent.

Dan....Bitten hard by the bug ,but it feels so good ,I just cant stop.

Thanks again,
Skidmark(Dan)

You got me stumped dude, what are eyelids ?

i think they go above your eyes dan......

lol

he means putting a little strip on the headlights to give the look of eyelids

thats a lancer with some, not hard to do at all. have seen a couple of sigs with them done.
come up nicely if thats the style you like....

Yeah, they make your car look like it's squinting.... ;)

I dont mind that at all ,I might have a think about that one.

they give it a mean look. i am getting some custom made for the balenos. 2 sets for $250. not too bad

what you making them with? wouldnt be hard to do with fibreglass,
could do it yourself for around 50 bucks i think

I was wondering the same myself , I geuss a bit of black contact might look a bit cheap.

I did it to a subaru a couple of years ago with paint, but wasn't a success on glass.

try it with some tape first to see if you like it,
if you do like it then i can give you a quick run through
of how to do it with fibreglass,
should be able to make them so they clip on and off.....

i reckon carbon fibre would look better dan, maybe an O/T job???

Dan dont you dare mate,

if you start putting stickers on your headlights, we are only one step away from Magna lovers club!!

Be proud of her natural shape and stylings!
She looks great as is!

Im thinken your spot on the money there Dan. Ive always said to the missus that the siggie just needs black custom plates and window tint (oh ,and a general body restoration) and cosmeticly I will be happy.

P.S lets never mention magna lovers again.

Has anyone in the Newcastle area seen the customise sigma that is the same colour as Dan's (skidmark)?
It is executed really well the workmanship is awesome. But to look at, it's the most disgusting abomination I have ever seen. It's right up there in the style stakes as torana taillights on beetles.
When or if you see it, you'll know it. There is no confusing it with any other.

Now watch, now I've put this up here, he'll be our newest member tomorrow and read this.....

I don't care, it still looks like F'n sh_t!

Yeah, don't change it Dan. They look good the way they are.

Detail. It's all in the detail, clean lines, shiny paint and the pepperpots

Dave.

bonnet scope and after market spoiler will look a treat

Its possible the C.F might look out of place, but it would definatly make the sigie go faster.

HAHA yes Dave ive seen that "thing" down at Glendale Shopping centre quite afew times now!


At first you see it and think, oh wow someone has customised a Siggy...
Then second glance you think,
Bloody hell thats ugly, it gives Sigmas a bad image lol

Ill try and get some photos next time i see it!

Couple of new additions, scored a wheel of ebay for $30, but more importantly got my black plates on which I think looks better than bent and twisted yellow billboards they replaced.






Skidmark

It looks a bit more evil.... nice one
