This Legend Will Die Hard- A Sad Story

[brechnar100]

UPDATEEEEEEEE !

So due to the lovely ice storms were having up here in polar bear canada it is increasingly difficult for me to work on my car. I also have decided to do some work myself on my car since i have applied for school for automotive technician.

Unfortunately.....its ****ing -41* outside and will have to wait till spring to do work. But in the mean time i will be collecting parts, materials, and tools to start first thing.

Here in Canada we have boxing day which is like black friday but its after Christmas Day. So i went and spent $400.00 on a few things.
Video card :$180.00
8 gb of ram: $40.00


Precise and regular screw driver set: $15.00
Air pneumatic tool set with accesory tool kit and life time warranty : $80.00
142 Mechanic tool set with matte blue finish and life time warranty: $85.00


So all in all boxing day was good Next im looking for an air compressor, and also a mig welder to later build some custom fenders.

Check list is coming along nicely.
(dont mind the anal swelling reducer....thats my brother coming into my room Lol)


Alot of things being stored in my room !


I also bought some books and reference manuals to keep me busy in the winter months and to gain some insight and knowledge. I love porsches so i bought a book on the 911 and the history of the company.


In the meantime the car is having a bit of an ignition problem, i believe the tune i have is killing the spark plugs a bit faster than expected so i ordered a new set and should be here by tomorrow. I also ordered a torque wrench set which should arrive the same day. And to finish off my 3 Piece wheels are finally done and are being assembled as we speak and i should be picking them up hopefully tomorrow or thursday

[brechnar100]

Yeah im doing this right now at 2 in the morning


Should be ready hopefully in a couple days otherwise i cant pick them up till next week.

Thats what happens when my older brother comes in my room lol. And im thinking ill do coilovers first, make my custom fender flares out of metal, then check out options for air ride.

those are even better then hirsch wheels

I dont mind the hirsch wheels, it just unfortunately they lack depth for me and are very oemish with the car and i want to expand those boundaries.

good choice for the wheels, thought about gold bolts for them>?

[Zacne_4]

These wheels will work well on the saab shame about the colour as you won't be able to see the details.

Please go for bright bolts...

Gonna have 24k Gold bolts, theyre being put together as we speak, I didnt want the rim to be obnoxious, i wanted the small details help bring the eye to that portion of the car and have certain things about it stand them out. The equip logo is still gonna have a nice steel finish on it and the gold bolts with the gloss black lip will help with keeping things looking sleek, but aggressive when it catches your attention.

Those wheels are going to be fantastic.

Can. Not. Wait!

[keenan]

custom fender flares are the way to go!!!

[brechnar100]

Picking up the final product on sunday. Cant wait. Bottom two are the fronts and the top one is the rear. 18x10 fronts and 18x11 rears. Will let you guys know final offsets on sunday night after im done work and get better pictures of the wheels.

[brechnar100]

Picked up the wheels today and Oh. My. God. They look phenomenal.

I saw them and did this






Then we set them on the table to do a quick photo shoot and i was doing this.....



So here they are....


From the side....4" inch lip


Everything was done to restore them.


Sorry for the shitty cellphone pictures. But i approve this message...


This coming week im gonna be ordering my adapters, getting 15mm 5x110 -> 5x114.3 to 72mm hub.

Then im gonna try and source out parts for air ride, and last but not least get the tires for this bad boy which will be 225/35 front and 245/35 rears. As too which tire i will use i dont know just yet. After all that, custom metal fenders will be fabricated once everything is mocked up.

[Bystrov]

Gawsh, i really hope you put on some very very expensive one of a kind lug nuts so these things dont get stolen .... this car will be freaking awesome!

[phenom]

Wheels are fantastic man! Can't wait to see them on the car.
