Subject: Rebuild of a 1985 Saab


I am very foolish, for I have decided to rebuild my 1985 900 with 198k mi. I had spent a good deal of money to get this baby running beautifully and looking good, that is until I hit a raised RR track and cracked the engine block. I figured in for a penny, in for a pound, so I went out and got a used engine from an 1985 900 SPG that got itself totaled (rear ended at 121k mi), all the various electrical & wiring components from a 1988 900s (the whole harness with all power accessories- mirrors, locks, window motors, antenna, etc... It was fun getting out - I spent a week in that junker in 95 degree weather), some body & trim parts (Bumper, headlights, driving lights, non drooping ceiling, now I just need a good dash), and various other accoutrements from eBay motors (APC, brain, etc.). All said and done, I have spent only about $750-850 on these parts (it does a wallet good to develop a good rapport with the guys at the junk yard) though the SPG wheels added $250 to that total. I am now gutting the beastie and have found a large hole where the floor should be on the passenger side. Has any one out there had any experience in automotive floor repair? If they have, could you give me some idea of the most thorough way to repair this? Also, what is the make up of the rubbery tar-like substance they spray on the floor pan? Can it be bought some where? Thanks for your help, Jeremy
