My new project

Apart from Starions my other love is Sigma Turbos. I have just purchased a very original one from SA and it is arriving Tuesday. It will require a full rebuild which I am starting ASAP. If you thought Starions were hard to get parts for try getting parts for a car that they only made 500 of. I'm in the process of setting up a mould to reproduce the front grill and headlight surrounds. Rare as rocking horse shit. Watch this space !

Been there done that Dazz.
Dropped 30k, redoing one many years ago. They are hard to to get parts for, but I still think the stazz is harder.

I sold a Sigma turbo to a guy 16 years ago. Funnily enough I saw it by chance whilst i was doing an inspection in a Sydney Suburb. Left a note on the front door of the house and turns out the same guy I sold it to 16 years ago still owns it. He is now helping me out with all the parts I need in return for me helping him rebuild one of his cars. I am very fortunate to have him as a help.

The brothers that used to be "Monstabishi" still have a decent sized collection of Genuine & non gen Siggy Turbo's.
Theo aka DR Sigma down near the gong still has a heap too.

Yer thanks I have heard about the gong supply of parts. My mate knows of them apparently.

She arrived today and is sitting in my shed awaiting the next few years hard work and many thousands of dollars. It is a very good base for a project, not too much rust,most of all the hard to get parts are there. Will post some pic soon, how do I do that again ?
