I spent a shit load of time on this heap.
I'm guessing it was never compunded, before.
I'm also guessing that by the time I got to that 1/4, I stopped giving a crap.
I may take you up on the offer, but likely not until it's a better looking car.

 

[g96nt]

new pictures.
Some are a LOT better than others. These were taken, and edited by a friend.

 

[dan-the-kid]

I think I know where most of those places are.....

how to you stop on the zakim bridge to take pics of your car??

 

[SaabDriver87]

Nice work.

 

[viggenkid]

nice pics!

i dunno is it just me or does in alot of your pictures does it look like there are smudges (kinda like someone with greasy hands fondled your car) on your paint?

twists my mind cuz the other pictures show a real nice shine.

 

[spgeebee88]

i like the pic's in the Durtyburg on that weird bridge,

BTW i think i saw you the other night on Nashua st in lemonster car looks good

Those would be swirls and marring. Seeing the paint in direct lighting is what is causing them to jump out at you...

But the car is looking good! I think the longer exposure with the moving lights works really well.

it's a crappy compound job, as christian stated.
I'm going to look into having it "fixed" in the spring.
it's bad when the car's dirty, and not so bad when clean.
Generally, the paint on this car sucks. it was quite the commuter before I got it.

to dan, they're all in leominster/fitchburg.
that bridge is a mini-zakim, I Think


Mike, if it was last thursday, it was the night we took these.
My buddy is practicing his skills, so he offered to snap a handful of pictures.

 

[g96nt]

oh yeah!

thanks, guys!

 

[rafal]

Nice pics! Where's the mini Zakim Bridge?

 

[g96nt]

in fitchburg.
it connects a crappy part of town to a shitty part of town.

it would be like a brige connecting dorchester to west roxbury

 

[rafal]

West Roxbury is actually not that shitty. You probably meant Mattapan ;O

 

[9000Andrew]

Car looks good. I hated the upkeep on my black 9-5 too, lol.

 

[g96nt]

got my wheels last night.
unfortunately, one is chipped from shipping.
so, I could only get 2 of them mounted/balanced.
I need new center caps, and to use the chrome lug bolts, but it gives you an idea of how it will look.

 

[Marks9-3]

The side views are a lot better with those rims.

 

[saabchic]

i like the new rims!!!

 

[132417SAAB]

new rims are pretty nifty. Stock or aero turbo?

 

[christian900se]

Those are awesome Craig, those suit the car better than your GFs dare I say. What are your plans for the super aeros?

 

[g96nt]

Super Aeros are going to be finished up this weekend, I think.
I have to sand the primered ones, and wet-sand the painted ones, before I clear them.
after that, I have no idea what I'm doing with them.
I'm trying to convince Becky to let me put them on the 9-3, but I don't think she'll bite.

Thanks for the comments on the wheels. I just wish I had gotten all 4 in good shape.
the wheels/tires fit nicely with the drop, but they make the brakes look even smaller.

I'm probably going to re-finish the wheels the same way I did with the auper-aeros.
most likely in silver, though.. not graphite.

 

[k1llsh0rty]

looks good Craig! cant wait to get my new 18's on for the summer!
