This weekend Mike and I made it a point to get his 99T running, being we were having so much fun with GA's car. After figuring out why the fuel pressure was too high a 5 min fix with a drill bit (return fuel line was plugged)and the car is running and driving. I will have Mike post some pictures of his newest ride today. The car is in vert good shape rust wise. It will need a rack though as the inner bushing is gone.

another 99T rides again!!!
Here are some pics of the Turbo, make sure to notice him washing a car. It's not very often you can catch him washing one.

The car was originaly dark gray metalic. Someone did a fairly nice respray a long time ago. Mikey is happier than a pig in shit right now that it runs.
Now only if he could get the damn thing waxed. I try to motivate him by only doing half of the work and letting him finish the rest haha.
It's amazing how well it drives with the worn out rack in it. 
It runs great now. Went through and patched in the shrunk up window seals/hatch seal. Put on the ol' Mini-lites I found a while ago and Rob and I just got done getting all the lites working.
A few major things are left like the rack need's to be replaced/rebuilt, go through my parts to put the under dash panels back together, and mount the extra center console I have in there.
More pics will come once there is a good wax and interior clean done on it.
Edit: Yeah she sits pretty tall and there is TONS of body roll to her. Maybe at some point down the road there will be some lowering action done.

So it needs a rack, eh? Well that's not good! :lol: There was a group buy for the typical 99 failure rack bits over on saabrally.com, through unfortunately I don't think you would be able to get in at this point. I'm sure you will probably be able to find at least 1 good used one in you guys parts stash, but simply rebuilding a 99 manual rack is basically an impossibility The parts that break have been NLA since the mid 80's...

Oh yes the price was perfect.
Well I got more pics taken of the car. No waxing was done though. Damn thing waxes like I'm dragging an eraser across the it but it is working at the expense of my arm.

And a shot of the inside with the kick panels replaced and what I was told was another 99 center console when I got it shipped from over seas but it is no where near meant for a 99.

Looking sweet! MAN that thing brings back memories! My second car was a white 3-door, with that very same interior! Great looking, man!
IDK what the center console is supposed to fit. All I know is it it don't fit a saab. It fits that way after a serious date with a cut-off wheel. I think it could be made to fit a little better but untill that time I'll probably put a regular radio blister in for the time being.
On another note did a bunch more work to the ol girl in the beauty department. Main thing was found out the color is a very close match to rattle can dupli-color white.
Now you see the rust blister.

Now you don't.

The next job was to cover what I think was supposed to read wash.

So a couple coats of primer and some color I think should cover like the other.

All in all I think this should work pretty good as a cover up untill I tear it all down a few years down the road and fix it the right way. The rear quarter sure buffed out nice though.

Then since we had the rubbing compound out Josh figured try a little on the wheels and I think this will be another project of stripping and repainting.

All in all I think it should clean up good enough to hopefuly bring to SOC this year. Plus this will be the first project car where I actually documented the work done on it.
