As I always tell people: if you want to own a Classic Saab or Vintage SAAB, you have to have one of two things: 1) Money to regularly pay a mechanic or, 2) Mechanical skills to do the work yourself. When people don't have money, and they want to keep the Saab, they learn the mechanical skills pretty quickly. Classic Saabs are great cars until something goes wrong, then, wow, they are a fresh set of puzzles. How do I get that alternator out of there? The water pump is WHERE?!?!?! But, geez, replacing that clutch disc was easy... lycka till! GTr - - http://www.preservestoughton.org/
