I'm a Saab C900 enthusiast in Sydney so it's great to hear from another fellow Saabist. I own a few C900's and try to do as much with them myself since that way I learn more and save $$$ too. >I will be doing a lot of customizing on this car from body to suspension to >wheels, etc. and I already have most of the car dissassembled with plenty >of time and room to work. Sounds good. I don't have a garage so I'm not really able to take my cars apart quite to that extent (yet). 8-) >Thanks for any and all that can provide me with some good information on >the '74 Saab 99 LE!!! If you're trying to source parts for your 99, try places like Parts for Saabs in the UK (www.nospam.com), etc. There are some good online parts places in the US too - www.autohausaz.com is one I recommend but there are plenty more. Consider joining the NSW branch of the Saab Car Club of Australia too. The club's website is at "http://www.nospam". I've been a member since last year. Good luck with your car! There are plenty of 99 enthusiasts around in Australia going on how popular 99 turbo's, etc. seem to be.
