Havn't posted in awhile. Reading back on this thread has made me realise how much of a confused facker I was haha.
So an update.
The Sigma is currently full time off the road with a stuffed engine and pretty bad body.
Plan:
-Paint job
-Engine
-Suspension
-Interior stuff
-Maybe converting to Stazza box
So yesterday I said hello to an engine and goodbye to the Stazz.

Yes this is the engine and carb setup that belonged to Superscan
Today I cleaned two gearboxes and some other parts. Also started painting the Genies
btw anyone know how to downsize these pics, they are way to big!?

Have a look at Daintree Green
It's the factory colour on the 02-07 magna/verada (was used on my GJ Scorpma wagon)....the dark colour matched well with the polished PP's and the chrome window trimmings and door handles.......plus those cars also came out with a tan coloured interior....so if u have that in ur car also....it will match that nicely....and being a factory colour........it's cheaper and easier to match/source
but thats just my opinion......everyone's different

Thanks for the idea! I was going to change the interior colour (it has tan now).
Interesting though....

Still coming along. I'm finding out that bodywork is a pain in the a**, I think there is more swearing than car fixing going on atm!

Thinking of spraying my engine bay black purely because it will be the quicker way for me to go
ALSO found out what bog feels like in your eye. ARRRRRRRGGGHHHHHHHH!

Panel work is sometimes the worst thing?
Here's some advice:
Concentrate on one panel at a time (small goals not big ones), it helps your head get through the job.
Every job finished is one job closer to the finish

iiiiiiiiiiiii'm baaaaack
Thanks for the kind words guys.
Won't be having two tone.
It's been a few years since I'v posted or even touched the car.
I am now back living in Victoria and have my full license. This means I'm still weighing up different engine possibilities.
Hopefully I'll see some progress in the next couple of months.
