The way I'm going the donor car will end up being a bare shell with no other removable parts left on it by the middle of this year!. 8-) Craig. PS. Over the next few days I'm going to start changing the www.saab900classic.net website to use the www.classicsaab.net domain name as it's main domain since the site isn't really just about C900's now. That will entail config changes for the forums and galleries, along with DNS changes which might cause some or all of the site to not be available for a day or two. -- Craig's Saab C900 Page at | Craig's Classic Saab Workshop - Sydney .au http://lios.apana.org.au/~c900 | http://www.classicsaab.net and other URL's Email: c900nospam.apana.org.au | For Saab 99/C900/9000 Enthusiasts World-Wide!
