Hi and welcome to UKS.

Post up some pics of your 9000 when you can.

I've had my first Saab, also a 9000, for a couple of months and I'm loving it. Great cars. Great site this as well.

The front arches are rusty an the bonnet struts are goosed but not bad for 150 notes. Now let the project commence.

Got some work done on the Saab today. Got the back brakes off and cleaned up. Got the back door sorted as it wouldn't open. Put on 1st of many stickers.
Image
Then installed a boost gauge.
Image
Lastly I got some genuine Saab roof bars with the car so stuck them on.

Thanks to the guys who gave me a hand.

Is there a sticker for the drivers side saying "you are now playing overtake the Saab"?

Along with some stickers.

She is also running stage 1 just now and already I notice a huge difference, seeing as this is my 1st turbo'd car you can understand. Lol. Anyway just waiting to finish my temp side exit exhaust then stage 2.
I was planning to paint the car but gotta be honest and say I like the beige alot. Lol just picture it with a roof box,lowered sitting on a set of these,
