    some sketchy stuff going on in the engine bay.

    six shooter shifting knob...
    who would buy that, put it in, and look at it and say to themselves "damn that looks tight"

    sick bronzit project though

    Sketchy indeed! It was a little sketchier in that the coolant hoses which used to connect to the heater core had bolts shoving in them with hose clamps. Needless to say it leaks coolant everywhere.

    As for the intake boot. I really need to get another one, to pass inspection.

    As for the color, I am torn between the original color and doing a satin black. But those decisions are for much later since I am currently broke.

      I think those swede Saab's are pretty cool (GM ones are crap!), I have had a few through my doors and kinda like them, quirky things that they are. Dont ride bad either...

          Yeah, It's always been damn reliable and comfortable, but since it was a non-turbo, it can barely get out of its own way. I concur that the GM Saabs are crap. Saab (after GM) actually stands for Suckered Another American Buyer.

            Ha! If by food stamps, you mean Benjamins then come on up! Actually the driver's seat is all jacked up and only has two positions: Where it sits currently which points the torso towards the shifter or gangster still with the headrest on the back seat. Could be fixable, but at for now its bearable. I definitely am going to upgrade but first I need to get through inspection first

            Saabs are a seriously irritating to work on because everything is arbitrarily designed to be impossible to get at
