here we are... Got it running!










I posted some more details on foundourownroad some of which I already posted here, but it's pretty neat, runs good!

Hi DeLorean

Is that a leather interior trimmed in the turbo style?

Neil

No, it's perforated black vinyl, on probably 79 or 80 900 seats. The car had this when I got it, so someone did this pre 1984. It's actually a really complete job, everything but the trunk pan is black. After a quick Armour wipedown to get the mustyness off of the seats, they look nice, sit nice, and the car has AC, so they will stay. The material seems like it's probably of reasonable quality, unlike the stock 99-turbo seats, which when you actually sit in them, seem to go to shit real fast... I figured it was just age, but apparently not. This car has 60K on it, and is "effectively" 6 years old- the seats went bad BEFORE 1984.

Wow, what a sex machine!
Those front seats would be from an '80 99 or 900. They both changed to the pop-up head rests in '80.

Just wait till it has a charge cooler

Damn, that looks great, can't believe you got that running after 25 years. What a find.

[quote="DeLorean"]got some pics today for the antique tag.








does this car have spacers?

Can some tell me the dimensions of the shelby wheels? They look different that the standaard EU Saab minilite wheels

Nice. take care of it....that one just sold on BAT for $27.5k....albeit a low mileage super clean example....but Saabs have been pulling pretty good values on BAT lately.

Probably no spacers for the wheels.
The Shelby wheels are 15" x 5.5" 40mm offset

The Shelby 8 spokes are arguably one of the strongest if not the strongest 15" wheels made for the earlier bolt pattern on the Saabs. They rarely bend and tend to crack if they fail. Also they have gotten popular with the MG owners because they fit their cars nicely and are a fraction of the price of new minilites.

thanks. Does any body have a set for sale?

You just need to keep your eyes open for them as they pop up every once in a while. I had a lot for a while and then sold all of them and now I am back up to several sets. Currently not interested in selling any though.

Whenever I see a 99 turbo part of me wants it...then the other part of me says not until you have a huge garage to store all of these things.

@crazysweede..i think you bought the loti just missed. ( seanK). I ended up buying his 99T Now gathering parts

Let me know when you consider selling.

Last shelbies I bought were over 2 years ago I think :)
