This is badass! Keep up the great work

Thanks guys! It's been night and day with the suspension upgrades. Went from "scary through corners" to "find me more roundabouts". Literally rides like she's on rails.

More updates to come!

I just want you to know that I've wanted to build a 99 or ealry 900 for years.

If I saw this car in person, I would be that fucking weirdo that was absolutely losing his mind over EVERY stupid little detail. This is my favorite car on S|W right now.

So badass!

This is beautiful. Makes me wish I had gotten that 900 sedan a couple years back..

This is so friggin cool, old Volvos are the best.

I don't think I've ever wanted a car on this website more. I've been drooling over 900 and 99 turbos for years. Bravo man

Ha, well there are plenty of details. So many people have given up their stashes for this build. Lots of rare early OEM accessories and rally parts. I that's been the best part - finding and installing the extra stuff! It's part of making it more than a car, but a work if art.

QUESTION... Anyone have suggestions for wheels/tires? Original was 15x5.5, 4x114.3, 35 offset with 185 65 r15 tires. I'm running 15x6.5 with 205 55 r15s. Would love 16x7 or 7.5 with 195 45 r16. Suggestions? I love the look of Epsilon/SW mesh and SSR formula mesh.

There really aren't a whole lot of rims that I've found look good on a Saab. Mesh is really starting to grow on me...

This thing is way too damn cool. Nice work man.

The deal with Saabs are that they are so ugly that they become beautiful

[DinanDave]

Awesome read. Always been a fan of old SAABs. Great work and awesome car!
