nice project.

That is one fine looking Saab mate! What front lip is that? A stock Aero one? Looks huge!

Can't wait to see those new rims on, subscribed!!!

[erock]

thanks guys!

indeed it is the stock aero lip. looks aftermarket and out of place because it is black. I plan on painting it all once the snow is gone. hopefully I don't smash it up once its painted, it touches the ground often on the highway at speed

finally, someone does a Saab the right way!

[erock]

lol thanks man, not sure I am doing it right, but committing to it and doing it at least. I just love cars that are our of the norm!

So heres a pretty decent sized update!

fought my way through the rest of this brutal canadain winter. Destroyed the front lip more than once in all the damn snow we had. Got some nice weather so got the quarters rolled and put the car back down 1/2" to summer height, put new inner fenders in the front (both were stitched together with zip ties from winter madness). So then I figured screw it.. and put the wheels on...









The fitment in the rear is bang on. the lip protector on the tire is slowly shaving away on the rolled quarter. Doesn't get much closer then than that. The front needs a little work. I have 5mm spacers on the front, going to try to get 10mm or 15mm spacers.

Then Canada struck again!! 3 days of gorgeous weather and then I walk out in the morning to this:



poor ADV.1s!

Next on the list:
-install new headlights (mine are pretty stone rashed)
-install new fogs (same problem)
-paint front lip
-paint moldings
-paint handles
-full cut and polish

then I should be totally happy with it.

heres my other work on progress currently:




the engine is out right now, going in shortly!

Beautiful saab man, what dimensions are your wheels I'm looking for a better fitment without having to use spacers. Mine are 18x8.5 5x110

[244Brick]

That saab is DOPe and so is the Probe! The MB battles look at home on that

[erock]

Thanks man!!

spent the weekend painting all the black stuff on the car that I *****. Ill post some better pics later. heres an iphone roller for now!!

[TMA-1]

Amazing on both cars

[alejandrodavila22]

Did you use a gun or a rattle can? Looks very well all around, loving the new wheels

[erock]

We stripped everything off the car, prepped it properly to remove all the texture and sprayed properly in a booth. spent all weekend on it.

Removed all the moldings, the hands(what a crappy job) and the front lip and front bumper
