Shop time is all I really have to look forward to during the winter. I dont get to drive my 9000 much because of the weather so I get in my saab time working on my 9000. I havent done much work this year and I realized this last night when I began my "list of things I have been too lazy to do". When the list got to be three pages long I stopped writing and got back to work! ;) I recently drove my 9000 daily for about four months straight. He is running great and doesnt really need much anymore. I of course still have huge plans for him! Im working on the small stuff right now but the last major project I have left is putting in a roll cage. My kick-ass brother actually bought all of the steel tubing we need for our cars a couple of months back. Now its up to me to buy the welder and we are well on our way to having a pair of super-cool racing machines!
Since I stopped blogging my car has recieved a new gearbox. (same as the last... shot piened... cryo treated... quaife... and a few other updates courtesy of SCANWEST in seattle WA) It has also been enjoying new Champion brand spark plugs, new abbott racing door sills, and some new upholstry. (photos soon) I have also ditched the Status Racing seats for now until I can buy a new set that are FIA approved!
This week there are a few smaller projects on the bench. My boyfriend and I are working on a custom radiator support for my car. Its almost finished and then it needs some hand sanding and paint. I say "we" meaning mostly him doing the work, and me telling him what to do. What a great guy!
This past weekend we actually bought him his first Saab. Its a black 85 Turbo SPG. (maybe? how can you really tell nowadays if a 85 SPG was really a factory SPG? Does anyone know if its in the VIN or???) Anyways something is wrong with the motor so we got a killer deal on the car. We are thinking, and hoping, that its just a blown head gasket. We all know I have a lot of experience with those. ;) Now all we are waiting for is some more SHOP TIME.
More updates coming... when I get a chance. ;) Thanks for reading my saab blog!
