Re: Per, the 77 99 Rally
Hmmm, Buttercup. Is it Topaz Yellow by any chance? We've got one of those... Hope to see you there! Buttercup is/was Monte Carlo yellow with a 1999 repaint. But she's faded now. The 1977 99GL wagonback was painted white when we got it (factory was brown) and we painted it the super bright Lightning...

Re: Per, the 77 99 Rally
I've been looking for a reason to go to the SOC this year. 99s are a good one. We'd leave Buttercup (76 99gl ) at home but bring Toad (77 99gl 5dr wagonback).

Re: 900 rear Upper Spring Supports
Thanks for your reply. We did end up having a welder do exactly as you suggested.

900 rear Upper Spring Supports
This is for my 1988 900 SPG. It is a street car that sees a lot of backroad driving but is not a rally car nor will it be. I sort of hate to muddy up this forum with a general question -- but the rear spring supports (upper, I think you'll refer to these as spring "perch") are bending due ...

Re: Saab 99 motorsport quality engine mounts
I know this is an OLD topic! but wondering if anyone has a source of high quality engine mounts for the Saab 99 at this time? We're redoing a 1977 99GL 5 door/wagonback right now and while the engine is out is the perfect time to get those mounts in place. We have some welding done in the engine bay...

Re: Craigslist / Fleabay / Blocket.se / Kijiji / Thread
I think those recent posts are coming from someone who is trying to bump up the perceived value of the Saab 99. The white one for $27K was put up and then 8 hours later they'd edited it to say "SOLD" but left the ad up there. That stuff shows up in google results and although the original ...

Re: Craigslist / Fleabay / Blocket.se / Kijiji / Thread
The author deleted their CL post. What did it look like? There's a wacky CL post I saw recently in the Bay area for a $27000 Orchid White 4 door 76 99. Was that it?

Re: Rebuilding/ resealing a c900 steering rack. DIYable?
It's not hard to remove the rack with the engine in.. On a lift you have it out in no time at all. On jackstands it's also doable but you will feel it the next morning. :lol: I did it on my '85 C900 by myself when my husband was out of town. Way long ago in 1991. I only had jackstands, no lift. The...

Re: GROUP BUY: Sport and Rally Seat Skins
A front seat set would be great. Let me know, also, if they are available. Thanks!

Re: 99 windshield on eBay
If someone is in Maryland and has time to track a windshield down, there's a chance for you to get one free. Long story short, I bought a Saab glass windshield for my 1976 99 about 10 years ago and the guy I bought it from said he'd send two for only $70 more than one since shipping was the same for...

Re: Spring Compressor?
We've got a cheap set (maybe Harbor Freight) of strut compressors. It works. Not easy. It works.
Bottom line. It works.

Re: Steering rack bushing
I posted this on another forum last year..these little bushings aren't simply round, in addition to the tabs being a important part, the shape is as well. Ours were bigger than the ones from the earlier years. We had spares for a 74 but not for this 76 rack. The light yellow one I'm measuring the ta...
