Bmxican's 1981 Mitsubishi Sigma Wagon

Recommended Posts

Brought myself a mighty sigma wagon about two months ago for $350 and I decided it's about time to make a build thread Yoeddenz will be happy about that. It currently has a 2 litre donk in it with some Coby extractors and a free flowing exhaust, used to be a wee 1600 so not sure if its got a ten bolt diff or not, does have a one piece drive shaft though. As it sits now I have given it a wee tune, put everything on the carb where it shoud be, has a dodgy fuel tee though. Yay for exhaust cement and a old celica fuel rail. Right now I just need to get the intermittent idle sorted and the timing done, then she shall be a mint summer cruiser.

Plans are going to be sorting some low and some widened steels then thinking of finding a turbo rvr motor and attaching that to the sigma box along with a possible Hilux rear end or something that I can get disc brakes from and an easily acquirable lsd.

Anyway enough chat here are some pictures, It's a twin headlight GE model.

Has an Ugly grey primer hatch on it but I have a mint one that just needs the glass swapping over.

Update: Got bored on monday and I decided to attempt to put the window in the red hatch. A few hours and a lot of cursing later it's in! I also managed to keep it in one piece, somehow :) Cheers to durty's help. Also added some fancy steel onto the end of the muffler and attacked the drool bar, need to tidy up the tow hooks when I can get access to a gas cutter.

Next on my list is to try rectify the noisy rear wheel bearings, one side has a bent axle which won't be much help either. :( Then it's time to add some low, does anyone know if ex lancer rear struts are shorter than the mighty sigma wagon ones?

And my fan doesn't seem to work so my demister involves winding down windows a tad and setting it to push fresh air in. Just works. Anyone know what might be the issue?

Anyhow photobomb time.

Yay a red hatch!
