Saab SportCombi 9-5.... Yes, a wagon

[Suburuuh]

Just read through this whole topic... What to say...

This is going to look mint with your plans, but it's already looking great!

Subbed!

Thanks guys. Got my rear lower control arms in the mail today. Those will be going on this weekend

[Pauluzz]

Gotta love a wagon! Very Nice!

Once you get those fenders settled, this thing is going to be spot on.

I would have liked it to sit about 2-3mm inwards. Someone has to do it though :P

[reiernumans]

Moar Saab love! <3

Love the front fitment, not a fan of the rear though. Seems a bit too much to me.

[kpg2713]

Thanks guys. You know, I don't want to burn it either ;P

[Robitussin]

Officially my favorite saab no question. Great work i am excited to see where this goes!

Holy crap. A Saab I don't want to instantly burn. This thing is tits. Great job, keep it up.

Over the holiday I wanted to get the car rolling static. Here is how it went.

Fit all four wheels. Take it out of the driveway. Rub, rub, rub. Bring it back in and work the fenders. Rub rub rub... Raise the rear a 1/4". Rub rub rub. Work the fenders some more. Set the rear shocks on max stiff. Rub!@!! It's so effing close!!!

At this point I was getting agitated. I should have left it, but NO! Called friend to help. And we wrinkled the lip a bit

I did all this not wanting to add any more rear camber. It's out there, and I'm not the super camber type. There isn't a chance in hell I am going back at those fenders, though. So I bought adjustable rear lower arms... and talked to a body guy today. Then next is spacers and camber plates up front. There I do want a little camber... Then more low

I still grabbed photos too

Up your ways it looks like to. She has family in Oneida.

That sounds like me... now. Lol, the g/f just left this morning to head back up north for the holidays so I've got the next week to get this turd rolling.

By hand... That is dedication man. Something I don't quite have for these wheels.

Yeah, I was single at the time. lol. Spent my time in the garage with beers and tunes.

No can do on the polished lips. There is chrome leftovers underneath the paint. Sanded to hell, but still there. Blasting and powder coat are on hold till next season at least. These wheels I painted with Rustoleum

Yeah I understand. Been there before too. The Wald's I used to have were chromed and when I refinished them I had to sand it all off, by hand. Yes, by hand. I spent close to 50 hours refinishing the lips but the did turn out well:



Looking forward to the rest of this build. I think it's going to look awesome on air.
