jim when are you going to start on mine ;-)

 

Looks great!

 

Looks great Jim, the hard work definitely shows. Paint looks pretty darn good too, you do it yourself? I cant wait to get my degree so I can finish my Z and embark on some saab restorations myself.

 

That looks great!

 

Thanks, guys.

As far as paint, no, I did paint another car once in my garage ('88 SPG which was totaled less than three weeks later), and told myself never again. Makes a mess, stinks up the house, and my wife was getting ready to call the divorce lawyer over that one!

Nah, I paid for the paint job...

 

Awesome.

 

C'mon Jim, be honest....the kitty did most of the work.

 

Oh, yeah! The kitties are my buds.

Shop cats. Ya gotta love 'em.

 

All of your cars look so nice

 

Sweet, can't wait to see it!

 

Jim, when and where did you pick up your car? I've seen a couple for sale recently with wildly ranging prices. They're a beautiful, distinctive edition.

 

I bought mine at S&S Auto in Warrenton, Va. They started out as a Saab independent, but have since branched out to Volvos, and the occasional BMW, Mini, and Mercedes.

Gotta pay the bills, I guess.

Anyway, I've been going to them for service since 1990. 17 years, man! Great bunch.

I bought both the '93 Commemorative and the '91 SE Convertible from Rick. My nephew also bought a base 900 from him a couple of years ago.

You can find them at http://www.sandsautosales.com

 

I've been there a few times. They've got two lots side by side with a little bridge over a creek. They seemed good, but too much of a hike for regular service when I lived in D.C.

I heard somewhere the owner has been sick. Is he doing better?

 

Rick just had a heart transplant. Got home about a week before Christmas. He'd been in the hospital since September.

49 yrs old with a new ticker. Go figure...

I plan to have the local club do something this spring for them. Not sure what yet, but we'll have a fun-run or something for Rick and crew...

 

Hey, sometimes engines need to be replaced sooner rather than later....

A fun run is a great idea. The one last summer was a cool day out even if the weather wasn't completely cooperative.
