Can't wait to see you do wheelies in that thing.

wheelies

More work done!




061s assembled, tyres will probably be 195/40-16.

[schwartz]

Welded and primed. "Fine"-work up next like mounting the fuelcell, pedal assembly etc.

[SwedeSport]

That is an impressive amount of metal work. Can't wait to see it finished.

[RadioFlyer]

No kidding. Where do you find the time to do all the welding and design? Oh wait, you must not be married or have kids. I used to do all kinds of fun stuff...

Radio Flyer,
You better hope your wife doesn't get to read any of these posts !!

[RadioFlyer]

Haha you're right - I'm going to get myself in trouble one of these days. She's incredible though and we joke together a lot about the Saabs. Fact is, she's a much better mechanic than I am, but she will never admit it.

[schwartz]

I'm taking my last course at the university now which gives me three working days with an empty schedule. Guess where those days are spent?

My plan is to finish most of the bodywork before christmas, and it seems like it will work.

This project is taking way to little time...isn't it supposed to take years

[schwartz]

No it can't take years, my 9-3 Monte Carlo isn't as fun to drive during summer

T5-harness marked up and gets adjusted. Exhaust manifold gets a makeover to fit better.


The inside starts to take shape.


Rear brake discs, 253x20mm vented mounted and pushed the wheel that little extra.


Front spring seats made (the old are sold). Starting at 2.5Hz on all four corners this time.

[RadioFlyer]

Got any room for a passenger? Looks kinda tight. Where does the ebrake go?

Can you make one like that for me?

[DeLorean]

looks like there is room, though I bet there is some loss of ergonomics. Parking brake is probably hydraulic?

Keep up the good work!

[schwartz]

There's room, the tunnel is slightly larger on the right side to fit the exhaust though. The parking brake is mounted (and seen in the picture behind the shifter). The rear calipers have integrated parking brake just like the 900 ones :)
