Just don't hit each other while parking or 100% of country's SED auto's will be wiped out at once!

An update.....

This is what it looks like as of today. Getting there. :D I have on order new driveshaft seals, so im waiting on them.
Got the exhaust to do. And the heat shield cover thing to the rack, and rebuild front suspension that has been disconnected, then fluids then pray and keep everything crossed! :lol:

:oops: Slight issue, stupidly didn't take a proper photo of the fusebox plugs.... Is this right any 2.1 owners? I also have a mystery lead from somewhere, but it looks like an earth wire. So not too worried..... Yet!

And parked across the road this evening.. A proper SAAB 900.... WOW!

It was never going to be quick for me Dean! So far, I'm happy to say, all bolts are accounted for. It's the strange wire I'm confused about. What's the betting everything won't work without it correctly fitted! :lol:

Is it the blue wire with the ring terminal on the end in the battery/ fusebox area?

All fasteners accounted for! Amateur!! :lol:
