Something Swedish that isn't a Volvo

[JRodigan]

Roof vinyl came in! Don't know when I'll find the time to actually wrap it.



Also, lows are going to take a bit longer than I had initially thought. Lets just say, I've decided to get low in a little bit less static way.... So I have a little more saving up to do....

Well, new wheels didn't happen...the guy still has them and I might be able to grab them next week when I'm done with finals at school. I did order the gloss black Vinyl for the roof today. It should be here next week so hopefully I can have it applied next week as well.

I am excited for your progress. Working on an 0-9 wagon myself. Good luck bud

I love wagons. If I ever sell this one, it will be in favor of a 2009 Aero Wagon.

From one Swedish brand to another, I love slow progress build threads that actually go somewhere and you can see the progression (similar to my build thread). I drove my cousins 9-5 for about 5 hours during a road trip, very nice cars. I love the jet fighter mode or whatever it is that turns off all lights except the Speedo.

I just realized, I've seen your Tethys for sale on Craigslist... I search Volvo wheels all the time and just realized you're from Louisville!

Thank man.

Yes, Night Panel, I love it. It's kinda gimmicky, but everyone that rides in it at night just loves it. Especially when the rest of the speedo fades in when you hit 90.


And yeah, those would be mine. haha. Trying to see what's out there right now. Like I said, might be getting a new set this week if I can arrange it.

Looking good My dad drives a SAAB 9-5 estate, it's a really nice car to drive (and to look at in my opinion), wouldn't mind doing the same mods as you've done/will do to yours to it!

Car is looking great so far. Can't wait to see it low. S|W needs more Saabs. My dad has a 9-3 Aero vert I've been dying to get my hands on.

My buddy has a 9-3 and i keep trying to convince him to just do what he wants to that, he is trying to get an evo instead. He said the same thing though, parts are tough to find and are expensive. Good luck with the build and it looks really nice!

Thanks guys! I can't wait to get really started on this. I might be picking up some new wheels next week.... I'll keep you all posted.

I found my inspiration....

(It's a little newer model)

I really want to go air in the end, but I won't reach that for a LONG time, but a man can dream!

[JRodigan]

Looking good.

Nice car man. My brother and I have recently got really into Saab's.

Thanks guys. Finally got around to taking some decent pictures with the Volvo wheels on it.

Evan, you see this car every week. Lol. Still down to detail Friday? I'll be at the shop around 1:30.

Yea, should be. Depends on tires

[JRodigan]

if the plan includes the amgs and not the new tyres haha

AMGs are definitely the plan. Just may get some new tires and spacers for the current wheels until I can afford them.

I'm down to see this thing, I'll be at IA.

Nice car man. My brother and I have recently got really into Saab's. He has a '99 9-3 coupe (w/o the sunroof) making about 320 whp. It's the 2.3 with a TD04, tune, intake, downpipe, exhaust, injectors, and a few other little odds and ends.

I'm actually trying to get rid of my Kia so I can get a 9-5 Aero for sale here locally. It's an '02 with 140k on the chassis and 60k on the motor. Of course it' the TD04 etc. Basically I want to make it 300+ hp and lower it a bit.

I'll be keeping an eye on this build.

Very nice. I wish I had the Aero. The B235R is a hell of an engine. A freind of mine has an '04 Arc (same as the Aero minus tune, suspension and bolstered seats) and I love it. I definitely like the 2.3T over the 3.0t I have.
