Love it, Looks like you did an awesome job too.

Is it clear over base or direct gloss?

What model sigma is the green one?  It's very different under the bonnet to the one you have linked to in photobucket.

The green one looks like it's original design was for both LHD & RHD mirror image, whereas the grey/silver one is more a RHD only shape to the firewall & inner guards.

I didn't realise they changed so much over the time.

the original one was a GH 1980-1981
the green one is a GJ 1982-1983, they were exported as RHD to the states i believe.

I like that colour a lot! There's a gen 2 gt wagon in a pretty similar colour i see around a bit. I also like the rad cap on the grill below the screen, thats how i work, remove something, put it down and there it stays! and "anchortron" frickin gold!

still retuning it with 800cc injectors and using a wideband it feels like it goes stronger than before. or it just feels it with skinny tyres and stock suspension  lol
