Re: 900 at the ScanWest BBQ
Great turnout this year. Better turnout than some of our club meets/fun runs
Some shots.
Times have changed since '76. This color fits the car too.

Re: 900 at the ScanWest BBQ
What's going on with the red 96? I notice the big fender flares and the 4 bolt wheels. Is it 5 bolt to 4 bolt adapters or is there a more exotic answer, Like a 900 drive train etc? Curious minds want to know?

I did not visit with the owner. Sven99 got some nice pixs. https://plus.google.com/photos/10231557 ... 9669781953
Re: 900 at the ScanWest BBQ
Here are some more of that 96. Really cool restoration job on it. The rear fenders are custom (he says plastic) from a custom shop in Sweden. Sorry I missed you there squabbt, I do like Dan's lime green car a lot. It was a very good turn out with a great selection of cars.

SAAB used factory 4 x 114.3 hubs on some 96s (Monte Carlo, etc.)
The kind of dirty that doesn't wash off

They are quite common, if you find a set be sure to give them to us as you will likely find more shortly after

The flares on the red 96 likely came from Rp Glassfiber in Sweden http://rpglasfiber.com/

Re: 900 at the ScanWest BBQ
That red 96 is pretty and the fenders seem to fit well. I'm not sure if I like the widened body look on a street car or not, I'd have to see it in person to decide.
yup
I see they have stock shape bullnose front and rear fenders
