first of all i would like to say Oscar is a credit to its previous owners the car has been looked after very well waxoild and under sealed from an early age the body work is very good to he shines up great...

being the new owner and suffering from OCD as many of you know the engine bay is first to be cleaned and dressed in a fashion i love ie spotless and a few RED touches....

the wheels need a repaint which i will get round to at a later date ....

so first a before and after of the engine bay its not finished yet but i have only spent a day and half on it....




















After a day of cleaning and painting a few parts.....








also i have a nice full stainless steel exhaust to put on.....

i have painted the tube bits in BBQ paint and leaving the boxes.....

the back box and tip you can see very clealy when its on the car so it will be shined up weekly...

if youre referring to the exhaust its not heavy the Abbott one on the 93 was way heavier.....

That is a really very lovey looking car, im aiming for that kind of standard with mine, bit of a ways to go!

Im new to Saabs, where did you get the stainless exhaust from?, its looks really good!

cheers pal the exhaust i got from Mal Espin who sold me the car im sure he will be on this thread to tell us where it was from...
lets see some pics of your car and hope you keep on with it.....

i find cleaning the engine bay very therapeutic after spending all day digging and doing gardens....

i even use cotton buds to get in all the small crannies and awkward places dipped in Gunk engine cleaner....

I originally acquired it with another car and just never got around to fitting it, the makers name is on the back box Vince.
