G'day from WA
G'day from WA
Hi All,
I'm from Perth -any other Perth people out there?
I used to frequent sigma-galant back in the old days when i had my golden-brown 78 sigma wagon (my first car). For a while i also had a blue 81 GH sedan with holden V6. So I've been sigma-less for about 3 or 4 yrs.. until 2 days ago when i bought a 79 GE wagon! (yep; unashamed nostalgia).
Here she is after a quick turtle wax (gotta love non-metallic paints for revivability);
Note that the roof rack is not mounted yet -was working out placing (was going to fit to my old wagon but never happened).
It was a one-owner and it has never been in an accident. However it seems to have done just shy of 500,000km but need to double-check that the odometer is a proper 6 digit one as my old '78 GE was really 5 digit -the 6th being 100m.
Currently sorting carby vacuum issues.

Good to see another WA member...
Welcome and all that.
GE's are the best Sigma in my honest opinion... I always wanted a white SE wagon

Re: G'day from WA
Thanks guys,
yeah, i prefer the GE too- specifically the SE model though I prefer the GL front end which I'm sure is the original as the designer intended -the SE front end looks a bit like 'some-one else's' idea to me. So i'm on the look out for a bumper and grill from a GL. Thought i saw new old stock grills on ebay a few yrs back..
I'm keen on the cruise- I'll try and make that for sure.

Re: G'day from WA
Is that the honeycomb grille, like mine? They pop up on ebay around Melbourne ever so often... dunno about WA though.So i'm on the look out for a bumper and grill from a GL
Re: G'day from WA
yep, the honeycomb one -like on your awesome GE.
i just found out today the only pick-a-part here in perth closed down a couple of years back
I'll keep an eye out on Ebay and the local Quokka magazine for bits and pieces. Also would like a set of Globe Montego rims (AKA Wherret rims) - actually is there a wanted section here? -i think i'll have a look for it and post up my wish list!

Re: G'day from WA
Yeah, the turbo/Wherret rims show up on ebay (and here) semi-regularly. There are both wanted and for sale sections on here, so good luck.
