I picked up my red 89 16V c900 back from the smash repairer on Wednesday after A$4300 worth of insurnance-covered (except for the excess) repair work! Major parts replaced were the A-pillar (not sure if that's new but I think it is), driver's side door (good used), driver's side front guard (brand new!), bonnet/hood (good used), and sundry small parts. The repairs appear to be very good quality, and the paint job on the replacement parts and associated areas is excellent. Now I need to give the rest of the car a full polish/wax to get it up to the same standard as the repaired areas! The only thing I need to solve is a slight fit problem for the replacement bonnet/hood and get a replacement door inner (none were available from wreckers or from Saab as a new part so we agreed to keep the old one which has a little chunk of the foam knocked out!), but otherwise it's as good as new. Pictures of the car in it's repaired for are located at: http://www.classicsaab.net/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=7710 I've got some replacement foglight brackets coming soon too and then I'll put the foglights back on the car and attempt to figure out why they didn't work the first time I had them fitted even though I used a relay and fuse in the 'prescribed' locations and put a switch on the socket I found floating in the dash wiring which had the correct wiring... That still puzzles me.
