Decided to fix the leaky steelie following Cletus' instructions.
Took it to a tyre shop yesterday to remove the tyre.
Found the little pin hole
I put my air gun up to it to see if it would bubble up on the other side, which it did.
Drilled the hole out a bit
And put some Selleys Metal Cement in the hole
Let it set overnight.
Fitted the tyre up this morning and BOOM, no more leaky leaky
Now to pray for good weather next Sunday

i have been through the drama of leaky widened wheels after blasting and painting. thought tubes would fix it, nearly stopped me getting to nats last year.
the easy fix was to find the pinhole with soapy water, whip the tyre off, there will probably be a divot/bit of welding porosity on the inside. i got a little drill bit and cleaned it out back to bare steel, then put some epoxy quick metal type stuff in the hole, bingo, no more leaks
Did the tube idea not work?
Run a big smear of the same silicon/gasket maker stz you use on 3pc rims around the weld and hope for the best?
Not a bad idea. Ill get the wheel stripped and see if the leak is obvious. If not might smear something like bead sealer over the area.

Time to bring this thing out of hibernation.
My wheels were looking very sad as my dog found it enjoyable to piss on them which made the average paint job I gave them a while ago flake off and start to rust.
Decided to refurb them by having them sandblasted and powdercoated.
I got the tyres stripped and rims dropped off to Malcolm at Spraywell Industries in East Tamaki - Recommended by Cletus and Threeonthetree.
I didnt get any 'before' pics but here they are all done
The old trim rings I had were all curbed and rusty. All four of them were different. Bought some new trim rings. Thanks Jarrod
Started polishing the centre caps. Had a few to chose from.
Ive just found that one of my rims are leaking where they have been widened. Sand blasting must have opened up a hole. Im just gonna get a tube put in to fix it.
Took it for a hoon to work this week and runs so well. Took it for a WOF and passed. Im hoping to take it to the drags next sunday and see what it does. I just wanna pop some skids!
Heres an over-processed photo. Need to give it a clean.

Nah, EVO 1 onwards ran the 7 bolt motor. Like mine (EVO 2)

I think best option is VR4
They're 6 bolt so the flywheel you have on your 4G63 will bolt on and you wont have any issues with mating up the gearbox you have.

If a car has been pink stickered and then gets deregistered, is the "pink sticker" status an issue when it comes to re-registering?

Would I be able to have a look?

Is it a Super Saloon or GLX? What colour is the interior?
What are your plans with the body?

Do you still have the Sigma?

U13. Are they frameless windows?
Pull window back and poke something thru to press the unlock button

My airflow meter use to look like that. I chopped the flange thing and made it fit inside an air filter.

Ive just put PS in my Sigma.
As Bigfoot mentioned, you will need to track down an SE Sigma or GSR Eterna Galant with PS. If you manage to track one down be sure to grab
PS Box
PS Lines
PS Pump and bracket
Water pump pulley
Steering column
It'l be hard to find one, but they are out there
