You're nucking futs dude.
Actually, come to think of it, I don't believe I've ever seen a white Saab. Post pics of the finished product, I've gotta paint my car as well and you're inspiring me to actually go do it now.

More goodies.. I can show you them on the car when the paint fumes die down next weekend. It is just too hot and I am too busy to paint the car this weekend.
BBS RK II rims.. 17x8. They were an option on the 9-5 and fit the NG 900/9-3 perfectly.. and certainly look a lot better than the stock 3 spoke "vikings"

I was just finishing college when the "new generation" 900 came out. I remember being absolutely enthralled with the looks of the car. Somehow I have a hard time thinking of them as "old" just I still cannot consider the RD1 an old style car. Guess that means I am getting old?
Other Projects.. the Fiat is at a standstill right now while I work on the Saab. I unfortunately need to work on the bimmer next. I only recently found out the car had been totalled once. (came to me with a clean title) and while what you can see looks great and unmolested, they did an aweful job the floor where the car had been broadsided. They just hammered it sort of back into shape and welded it up.. so now I have a hole in the floor where the weld rusted away.
Once I fix that, I have a C/F hood, Mtech rear bumper and side skirts to go on, An AC Snitzer rear spoiler, and I can repaint her...
THEN I can work on the fiat. Each car I play with gets better than the one before it.. I feel I am almost ready to continue work on the spider. The saab and bimmer are practice runs

Still needs another coat. It is amazing the crap that falls onto fresh paint. Tomorrow I need to pick it all out, do a little sanding to get those areas smooth again, and then lay down a second coat. Yay for Rustolium. Including all the sandpaper, renting the compressor (next time I am buying) and paint.. this cost me less than $200.. and $100 of that was renting the compressor.
Gotta love those hood vents!
