Re: Light Pressure Turbo Engine & Totalled Saab

Hello again. I would like to thank all of the kind folks here who gave
me absolutely wonderful advice regarding my 'totalled' '88 9000T -
especially David Prantl, who explained what was probably NOT wrong
with the car, and also Stephen Goldberger, who set me straight on
the ins and outs of the LPT engines.

A little research turned up a different collision shop that works with a
Saab specialist shop in my area. It turns out that my Saab's
subframe was not bent at all; there is only a small 'kink' in the
unibody, which the collision shop (well versed in Saabs) said was a
routine fix - a much less involved thing than replacing a subframe
member.

It took them a couple of hours to go over the car, and no time at all
to locate a fender, light fixtures and complete bumper assembly from
their used parts source. No damage to engine, heating/cooling
systems, steering rack, etc. was found.

After I finish fighting off the ins. company's first 'estimate,' I'll be
back on the road in about a week.

Again, my sincere thanks to all who helped me out!

Cheers (really) --- Phil Matt
