Re: Rebuilding or rebooting ball joints

Has the quality of ball joints for C900s changed much since the above discussion took place? I haven't had to change any in a while, but I'm now in need of at least 4. The eeuro ball joint kit looks good, and reasonably priced, but if the Febi ball joints have declined in quality, I'd be interested ...

Re: Hot Rod 99 Build

I believe you're right about the belts. I have a bare bones 1983 sedan that has single belts all the way round.

Inca rims, steering rack, etc

I've got a handful of parts to sell. Need to thin the shelves a bit and raise a spot of cash. -- Inca rims. They're nice and straight, but need refinishing, so they're cheap, $60. I have a set of center caps, too, and would throw those in for another $30. -- C900 steering rack, a Maval reman, that's...

Re: Other Hobbies / Interests

As the resident-owner of a cheap house in Vermont, I admire your fortitude. I wish I had gutted our place when we bought it 15 years ago. We stabilized the sloping floors and every year or two we replace some sill or try to have something updated. It would have been cleaner and more reassuring to do...

It's like Yogi Berra said: Nobody goes there anymore, it's too crowded.
That 83 turbo is a very nice looking car. Wish I had the money lying around.

The 1983 turbo was listed on here weeks ago. 321go was offering it on Saabnet, too.

Re: Craigslist / Fleabay / Blocket.se / Kijiji / Thread

Someone's selling a rusty 1975 99 here in Vermont. It's been much modified, but the ad says the car comes with a ton of spares.

Re: Greetings from Vermont

I'm over in South Royalton, not far from Rutland. One of the reasons I find this site so appealing is the number of people in my neighborhood: Geoff, Crazyswede, RadioFlyer, etc. And there are a lot of other Saab folks in the area. I'm a penny-ante player in the Saab game, so it's good to know some ...

Greetings from Vermont

Hi all, I've been a member for a bit over a year and a reader of the site for maybe a year before that, so I figure I ought to say hello. I'm also up to my neck in Saabs, which adds a certain urgency. I currently have three 8-valve 900s, a 1986 sedan that I bought in the Bay Area in 2008 and drove b...

Re: Where to buy a steering rack/hoses for an '80 c900?

I have a rebuilt rack sitting around in a box. I think it's from Maval. Are their rebuilds really as bad as all that?
