  • saab turbo project

    as some of you may know i built this car in 09 and it was feautered in total vauxhall and it wasnt really how i wanted it and it blew up because the sump had too much instant gasket on it and the oil pick up sucked up the remains of the gasket then boom lol but i wanted to do it better anyway so i got another engine for £100 and decided to have ago at rebuilding one myself as my friend is a mechanic i got him to look over my shoulder.i managed to do a couple of private jobs to pay for the rebuild exhaust turbo etc

          Your car is gorgeous man, really is. Being a "Belmont" owner I'm sort of biased to the sedan look. But the little accent and trim pieces + wheel make your body style really appeal to me. I'm glad your doing the Saab Turbo route. Being as I live in ameriduh, all the really nice performance parts are a little difficult to source over here unless I wanna get raped on shipping. My spax kit cost me 150 us to get shipped over. Almost a third of the cost of te whole kit! Haha

          Saab however is readily available to me over here. Thanks for the inspiration and good luck this time around...

          Can you tell me now the car behaved handling wise with the Saab 204 lump up front?
