No problem getting it together.. just waiting for a buddy to show up with a pop-nut kit, so I can mount it..


Been lazy over the easter.. Mostly been buying awesomatron stuff for it. After buying a tan leather shift boot I started wondering how the .... I could get the car even more tan on the inside. Then I remembered that volvo had some tan dashboards in the 80's, that resulted in a can of tan interior paint on its way north

Whitewall



Had some rubbish masking tape, but that can probably be fixed easily  

Thinking with the 900 front dampers, that it may be better if I change the bearings in the top mounts.. as volvo dampers are 18mm and the saab's are 16.. think a 1mm thick adapter will break almost instantly

Beige awesomeness.

Well I'm not doubting it will be low enough (picture taken with the damper in it's longest position)




Good seeing that it's starting to look like a car again, and that it works just as good as it did in my mind
