Stunning.

 

What whale tail is it? Looks longer than the stock one… or is that just the photos distorting?

Nice car too!

Thanks guys!

Sab, I think it's one of the originals from around '87. It's got the wider openings for the drain holes, which I believe were narrowed on later editions. You're right, the whaletail does look longer there - trick of perspective, I guess. Looks almost as large as an older Porsche 911 whaletail in the one picture.

Johnny Del, the tail is in decent shape. No splits. Though I did have to perform a bit of surgery on the rubber. It had hardened & contracted enough to bend the metal bar away from the edge about 3cm. I softened the rubber with brake fluid to restore its shape, cut open the rubber, dremelled out the bent portion, straightened it, put it back inside, and used Sikaflex to seal the rubber up again. No visible scars. The rubber doesn't lie perfectly flat in one spot but it's hardly noticeable.

 

I need to get my tail on. That looks great.

 

Looks wicked good dude, I however prefer the vent covers painted to match the SPG panels, but to each his own.

Nice work!

 

That Whale Tail looks like its brand new. No splits, cracks, or separation of the rubber from the wing...... Nice looking additions.

 

Beautiful

 

Nice rig man.....

 

Awesome!!

 

Sell me your car!

 

wow, looks great, My first love is still SPGs

 

Looks fantastic, Greg!

 

saab holy grail.

 

Looks great! My 91 will hopefully be your car's twin come this weekend (adding whaletail too, possibly front airflow bumper). Only thing that I would do differently is not color-match the side vent covers. For some reason, I always preferred them the gray coloring of the body kit. Otherwise, your car looks like a mint, big $$$ SPG! Keep her clean!

 

Thank you, Gents!

Cark said the same thing about the vent covers. It actually didn't occur to me to match them with the SPG panels! I've always liked them to match the body color. You can't see the rubber gaskets so well in the picture but I left those black. Kind of a unique look.

What I'm still on the fence about is painting the SPG panels to match the car, like some folks do. Don't think I could do that to my SPGs!

 

Beauuuuuuutiful! The perfect SAAB sled. Nice work.

 

Absolutely breathtaking.

 

Thank you!
