A brilliant restoration. I sure know the feeling as I had my 93 Vetor TiD Wagon restored and get a bodyshop to keep on top of everything for me. And a big shout out to Fraser and Ray Bagnall at Bagnall Saab in Birmingham UK for doing all the mechanical work too. No one else touches the car, but them.
A magnificent job! As the owner of a 2008 SAAB 9-5, I'm over the top in love with the body style of the NG 9-5, and the interior styling. I wanted to buy a used one a few years back, but was deterred by parts availability and issues. That said, I actually went to a dealership with the intention to purchase an NG 2011 9-5 with an extended 10-year. 125,000 mile GM warranty for an additional $2,700. And it even had those beautiful 95 turbine wheels. What ultimately deterred me was driveability. I felt detached from the road. It was like sitting in a low-slung bucket. The 1999-2009 9-5 has an exceptional driving position, and fish bowl visibility. I actually felt claustrophobic inside. I'm still drawn to the NG 9-5, with what I believe is one of the most stunning exterior/interior designs ever produced. Your example is magnificent.
God I had the exact same experience with the NG 9-5, it just feels terrible to drive in comparison to the OG 9-5's. I'd still love a 2011 9-5 with the 2.8 and XWD, but the NG 9-5 I drove was terrible in comparison to my 06 2.0t, not to mention my built 98 2.3T.
@@JonasKakarikas Jonas...my only issue with the NG 9-5 was that for me, it felt claustrophobic inside, with limited visibility. I loved everything else about the NG 9-5 during my drive.
Hey my friend, I love the Contant that you put out for the Saab’s, but I do have a question. What is the offset of the BBS wheels Front and rear. I have been trying to find the perfect offset for my car, which is the same as yours but I have the aero And I think that you have the perfect offset set up
@@JonasKakarikas I figured as much! I have been waiting on putting one in but for some reason your install here looks way cleaner than others and has motivated me to pull the trigger!
@@JonasKakarikas I see. If everything goes well from today on, I'll be the owner of grey 2.8 mettalic....I'm a bit afraid of the body parts on the market, but You live only once :D

Sjukt bra jobbat! Du bygger alltid så satans smakfullt :O Blev de stor skillnad när du ljudisolerade bilen? Tänkte köra någon silentcoat eller liknande överallt på min bil
@@JonasKakarikas De vet du :) Ja fan, kommer köra de där överallt där de går. Har ändå inget att förlora, kanske går att höra varandra i min bil sen om man har tur haha
@@JonasKakarikas nice 🙂 Your car is so amazing 😍 I was thinking about getting one but I'm worried about engine, mechanical parts and other parts for the car.. not about the cost, mostly about finding them. Most mechanics here say they are very hard to find.
