Daven, Thanks for that link! That looks promising.
I certainly hope I can remember! Most of it is pretty straight forward, but for the wiring and anything else that I was not sure I would remember, I've labeled what it is or where it goes for reassembly. Also used several boxes of ziploc bags to label and sort any small parts and hardware that would otherwise be lost on a big bin. I've also taken a bunch of reference pictures.
For example:
Here is a picture I took to remember the positions of the riveted clips on the firewall before I removed them and the padding:
And all of the yellow masking tape tags labeled what each plug is or where it goes:
I have tons of pictures on my photobucket that I'll use for reference later, but I havent posted here. Worst case, I'm sure if I get really stuck one of the OGs here might know where something goes if I can't place it.
The biggest hurdle I am running into is that I am also restoring my 1985 Chevy van to the same degree of detail at the same time as the Saab so space is becoming scarce considering that the van has 6 doors, a hood, spoiler, visor, 4 flares, chin spoiler, and tons of other various parts which have all been removed. I started storing some of the more fragile parts and upholstery in my basement, but the wife isn't super thrilled about that.
Here is a crappy picture of the van with the body parts all mocked up:
I'll be honest, the van is the priority project right now. I've determined that body work is not really my forte, but finding body guys who are good yet haven't lost their mind yet is becoming a challenge. I can do the welding/patches, but I can't get the filler straight to save my life.
Anyways. I'm hoping that I can get the van out for body work/paint very soon, and I'll work on the welding work on the Saab while the van is gone.
This weekend was not productive due to a funeral and a sick toddler, only got the firewall heat shield removed and the pad on the interior of the firewall removed. Nothign really picture worthy. Hopefully I'll get back in the swing of things this week.
