good thinking mate, i reckon the mesh would work pretty well, especially if the edges are sealed... can't wait to see it all done and painted with nice rims etc... keep up the good work mate!

pulled my finger out lately. what do you think too much?

yeah i just had it lying around chucked it on for a giggle

i think a ba falcon power bulge would look good

looks to big really..

I reakon that a set of XB-XC falcon Bonnet vents would be a better option. I have a set on my wagon almost on there and I personally think they are one of the best options. Especially for the style of vehicle you are building up there. Also the XB bonnet is pretty much the same width as the sigma bonnet. I can give you some pics of the bracing that we used to make everything legal. Just used the same bracing but cut some out from another sigma bonnet to support the scoops.

That's freaking awesome! Looks great. Have to agree, the bonnet thing is over the top, it's too big. I'd just leave it be tbh.

That mess of wiring was pretty out there.

Yeah I love the XB-XC bonnet vents they are sweet as, like I said I just had that laying around. Got a lot of stuff done today, should be painting by the end of the week.

HOWS IT COMING ALONG??

lookin good n different!! be good to see the finished job

sorry guys been keeping it under wraps just in case it goes wrong and I have to sand it off and start again.
but just quietly, LET THE MASKING BEGIN mwa ha ha (you should see this shade of purple its quite exquisite)

i cant wait! hope it all goes well so we can see this thing
M.B

This build looks brilliant! Can't wait to see how it progresses. This might inspire some more members to do similar, maybe a GE wagon conversion.....Keep the updates coming:thumpsup:

well I've held people in suspense long enough. here's the masking followed by the painting.

That looks very cool Tubby but what is the masking hiding? I wanna see, lol
Love the colour very panno retro, looks a bit like an updated verion of the HQ purple

Couldn't find a panelvan pic in purple

looking good whats with the non painted areas where you masked off?

The purple is called Morpheous Purple, I figured I could upset holden puritans by whacking it on a sigma
the masked bits are white I will be putting on some black then I will be done.

I thought there might have been some air brushing or 80's graffix under the masking

I wanted to go crazy with the paint job but couldn't decide on what I wanted. I kept it pretty simple I will post pics up When I am done but with christmas looming won't get much done this week.

OK the black bits are done. not 100% happy with it but I will leave as is, at least for a year or so . still not bad for the second car I ever painted with no training or tuition whatsoever.





Will take some daytime pics at some stage

Top effort mate!! looking evil!!

This is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!

damn they were fast replies thanks for the support guys. got to whack the spoiler on at some stage to see how it looks BTW anyone in SA got a wagon rear glass and seal they want to get rid of? I will need one eventually u-pull it will do if not.

It's a very bold statement you are making. There is no way this will go unnoticed on the street.
Just curious, what wheels are you planning on running on it? Wheels could make or break the look of this.

Sweet looking black bits ya tricky trickster.
This thing is coming together perfectly and looking very mean now, well done

That's kinda what I am after I hope the paint job says "take your people movers your unnecessary four wheel drives in the city, your taxis and take your crap driving skills and piss off. I did a lot of work on this car and you WILL notice it and not hit it" kind of a pre-emptive strike as it were. as for wheels I was thinking old school like magnums or centerlines depending on what I can get a hold of preferably 14s' with balloon tires

On that note, just for the record I hate SUV's. Hate is a strong word, but to me if you drive one, you have just said 'I give up'.

Good for you
The look on people's faces when they almost hit my wagon, when they realise it's not just another Camry on the road. They plead for forgiveness. Mind you, the wagon has had a few close calls in it's time

Magnums, are they like the 'Dukes of Hazard' General Lee's wheels? Or are they like Kidney/Jelly bean wheels?
I know what Centreline's look like
Would you also go for the raised white lettering look on the sides of the tyres? Is that even still available?


Dave...

I think something like this would look sweet with 225/65R15's
