Almost done with the wiring and stuff. Have to pull some wires from the roof of the donor, then I can put the dash in, plug everything in, connect the battery, and hopefully there won't be raining sparks

Pretty damned boring to do this swap, I also have another car that I'll do the exact same thing to later this yearLuckily suspension, and body stuff is next.. that'll keep me going

Looks like all my problems was because of the ignition barrel switch... the one I changed too apparently was broken witch resulted in a lot of headscratching.. Oh well

Finally I can start putting the rest of it together, and start mocking up the front suspension with the saab front dampers. Will be back with pics once there is something worth taking pictures of

Roof rack arrived, had to try it on..







Kick ass!!!
Thanks to dakar09 that took the time to send me one.

Have also started trial fitting the saab dampers at the front, left the shock nuts soaking in WD 40 as they were rusty as hell, so nothing worth taking pictures of yet.
Will also post about them in that "short strut inserts" thread, when I've figured out exactly what has to be done.
