I'm back! Posted by IrieTom [Email] (#1032) [Profile/Gallery] (more from IrieTom) on Sun, 27 Nov 2011 06:37:48 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
It's been a while since I've driven a c900, but it feels good to be back behind the wheel. I just picked up a '90 900S (hatch, 5-speed) with unknown mileage (intermittant odometer says 202,000 miles).
I grew up with SAABs. Drove a '72 96 and '78 99L as a teenager. '80 900GLi, '83 900T, '86 900T, '86 900, and then an '86 SPG. Then a couple of work vehicles ('95 Chevy 2500, '03 GMC Safari), and my parents' would-be trade-ins ('01 9-5, '01 9-3).
I'll be here frequently, because there's lots and lots of little things that need attention on this car. I'm trying to figure out where my Bentley manual (and Haynes and various SAAB factory service manuals) have been stored- I've moved 3 or 4 times since my last c900.
I've already installed snow tires from the 9-3, and front and rear seats from the SPG (the seats could be nice if re-stitched and conditioned) and removed the broken-off key from the ignition. Next priority- exhaust. Then NYS inspection. Also, tuneup stuff, hatch struts, dash and interior lighting, audio gear, rotors and pads, shocks and springs, etc...
I'll be soliciting advice, and asking specific questions about how various things are held together. In exchange, I promise to make my own opinions heard, as well as giving whatever technical details I can conjure up.
Well, time is wasting. It's a beautiful Sunday morning. Time to log off.
See you all soon!
