And i think i'm geting some where...

Before


and now Got to love the Orange side repeaters biggrin


Abbott Racing Spoiler removed, and the rear looks much better smile


and before


Removed this rather noisey and annoying air filter


and back to this, The Abbott Racing dump valve has also gone in favour of a standard Bosch recirc valve. Spot my Sensonic unit smile


Low miles for the year smile


And thankfully the interior was left alone, apart from the carbon fibre dash panel, Should i go back to Walnut????


After tinkering the ACC panel is now fully illuminated, looks nice in the dark smile



Apparently there are only 8 sensonic turbo Talladega's left apparently, and thats not just the Convertible.
So im hoping to return this one back to standard and slowly get it back to its former glory. only bits that are not standard that will be staying are: Abbott Racing exhaust and the Hirsch remap, it goes bloody well smile

If it doesnt bore people i will try and keep this updated as i work on the ol Saab.

Looks so much better without that monstrosity of a rear spoiler. Good work.

I love the Saab interior at night, Green is so easy on the eyes compared to the white and red of the mondeo.and then there is the brilliant black out (night panel) button.

Next few things to do.

Add door speakers and Amp (AS3)

Get some standard number plates sorted to get shot of the gaudy ones fitted.

Proper clean and polish

refurbish the Talladega BBS alloys and fit

replace shocks, bushes and fir a rack brack and underbody brace.

then i think im done smile

Got a few more things done today...

Resolderd the Tab back onto the rear window element, Not sure how successful it will be, time will tell.

A bit sad this one hehe
After looking around the roof mechinism i discovered 2 little cover that should pop out when the roof is down. Neither of them worked but i now know what the springs i found were from!

Here is the little cover



After some Fiddling and 3 swear words they were sorted along with the non retracting passenger seatbelt that was twisted to buggery. anyway now 2 working hinge covers
