Hi, just introducing my self and my stock! I have two 96 V4's one with rubber bumpers and a really low mileage backed up with history, it is blue and has had all rust eradicated and a complete respray. The other is Sienna Brun in colour and is not currently on the road at the moment though has been. I drive an Aero 9-5 2003 estate on a daily basis and it is running on LPG. My wife is driving a 9-3 Salloon 2004 and to top it all off I have just purchased 1987 Turbo classic 900 16v Convertible in need of a set of bumpers and side trim all the way around if anyone has any of the bits I would be really interested. Or indeed if anyone wants to ask any questions about my mental state or my collection and little knowledge I would be only too happy to listen!

Here are a few pics, bought it blind on ebay, I had a good feeling about it and I haven't been disappointed. Full history for all of its 250,000 miles. http://www.saabphotos.com/gallery/album1027

I agree the rims let it down! Does anyone know which rims would look best and what fits? I have replaced the bumpers since the pics were done, it now looks so much better with black bumpers and door trim than it did with the paint peeling off them. Jet washed the paint off of the corner sections and replaced the bumpers with good secondhand ones, added new chrome trim from Steve Lewis and polished the whole lot up with a green scotchbrite pad and coloured them with bumper stuff from Autoglym and Carplan. Going to start on the tired out leather interior next if anyone can recommend something to do it with. More pics here

Welcome!!

Definitely a nice looking collection you have there! Hows the interior of the c900 convertible, has it withstand the aging so far?

BR,
Henrik

It is looking pretty good for its age, no tears or rips just scuffing and marks in the seats when you pull the headrests up, I have recovered the rear speaker panels in pigs leather, they are pretty close to the colour of the seats. I am going to do the door panel inserts too, I am looking for a colour die to do the whole lot with if anyone can recommend something?
