My little side project has grown and grown bigger. Now my new deadline is fall 2026. So far i have overhauled most of the undercarrige, the engine is almost ready and the front axel is 90% ready also...

The has progressed quite well. The front fenders have been repaired and all the rust cut out. New repaired doors have been fitted. First pieces of the bodykit have been installed. So far i put in 112 huors of work and a lot more is still ahead. I'm exited to finally get everything repaired and i good order.

Here it is! The 1999 Saab 9-3 SE Turbo (B204R) that i imported from Sweden. I went to pick her up 18.8.2023. After getting her home I have been working on a quick overhaul on her. She has gotten a new windshield, wiper arms and blades, ecu programming, new keys and remote, new leather seats, new wheels and tires, a full service. She's almost ready for MOT and registration for Finland. This should free some time for me to concentrate on my og900 and the Saab 96 😊

Many of my follower may not know that That the Space Banana is not my only project. Here is our whole fleet: Saab 96 V4 Turbo -76, Saab 900 3d -92, Saab 9-3 wagon -08, Saab 9-3 cabrio -09 and one new addition coming soon.

Things haven't moved forward as u hoped during the summer. Much of this is because i injured my back in the beginning of july and haven't been able to to anything since 😓

But the good news is, I'm buying one more Saab 😜 a small teaser in the last picture.

Went to a Saab meet today, so many Saab 96 🤩

A little workout today. I pulled of the 16" wheels and the adapters from the car to take measurements for the new 15" wheels. Now i the information I need to send them out for customization 😎

Will be selling the wheel adapters and the 16" Wheels and tyres.

Motivation is still lost 🤣 but a new idea has risen, i will change the wheels and tyres on the car. The new wheels are going to be banded steelwheels made form a set of original two-stroke wheels. Bought a set of original center caps to match the wheels. Will go down to 15" size at the same
