Looks awesome! Love it. Good to hear you are reinvigorated about the project! Like you said, sometimes just focusing on a new area of the car clears your mind of previous stressors.

@@AutoAutopsy These cars seldom leak...where is the leak on yours. Maybe I can point you in the right direction. Is yours at the front (as installed) or back of engine?

Foam behind the bars is tricky because it will be soaking wet. The original SPG-Kit has plastic stripes between the alloy rails and the paint. And the corner panels are not slightly different, they are much different and go far deeper than the std ones, so go and find the missing corner parts ;-)

NICE! Looks stunning. Nothing looks better on a 900 than the SPG 900 airflow kit. I sense a whaletail or porsche tail in it's near future? That and a set of 9000 Aero 3 spoke flatspoke (dished) rims, louvers and your done. I know your not a fan of the louvers, but maybe you'll eventually give in to the mullet-era saabs darkside with us? XD The wider track of those rims will also be a pleasant surprise in handling.

lol, thanks. Yeah I’d love a set of the deep dish wheels! An actual airflow kit would be awesome too, especially if it’s lowered a bit!

My almost 16 year old son found an 86 900 Turbo that had been off the road for 5 years or so. We got it cheap, $500, and it has an Airflow kit on it which is really cool but the plastic is super thin. There is some repair we have to to and then repaint it, hopefully it comes out looking good.

Wow! If looks could kill? It's amazing the difference the Aero kit makes. There's not much to do now. Maybe some Aero ( SPK ) springs and then the paint. The Aero springs are 25mm lower in the front and 15mm in the rear. Improves handling. And from memory I think the front and rear stabilizer bars are thicker. When this project is finnished you should get a trophy from the Saab club! Cheers from downunder.

Nice job there young man. I did that on my 1985 back in 92. It is a lot of work but it completely transforms the car. A good tip is to use a bit of teflon spray on the upper edge seal, where the panels come in contact with the body. It allows the panels to slide a bit easier.

Good job! I did this job about 10 years ago on my CE convertible and foundation it very helpfull to heat the panels from the back Just before applying them. So much easier, especially with the edges. Also it could be helpfull to heat the panel before spraying to achieve a better attachment of the paint! Do not use primer other than to fill minor imperfections. When the panels are nearly perfect after sanding, use a plastic primer only I would recomment. I did mine 10 years ago and it still looks new. Good Lucky everyone!

I might be mistaken, but didn't the SPG bodykit also come with thicker wheel well flares to fill in that gap between the flares and the kit? Looks great! Butyl tape would also work well in place of the weatherstripping.

Obviously, I’m a huge huge fan, and I absolutely love your channel, and I know it’s just me being annoyed. But I’ve never been a huge fan when people put SPG bodykits/SPG things on non SPG 900s. Just because the people didn’t buy the SPG, and therefore don’t fully deserve it. But you’re not the original owner, so it’s understandable. But nevertheless, it looks amazing, and you did a great job installing it. Looking forward to seeing more content on the 900!

I don't look at it like that at all. I've stuck bits from higher spec cars on some of my cars in the past when I was younger. At the end of the day it's your car and if what you do to it makes you happy then what's the problem. Having said that if you're buying a SAAB buy and Aero or don't bother!

@TheBTG88 8 месяцев назад
Perhaps I missed it. Is there not a weather strip that runs along the top edge of the panel, placed between the metal and the panel? My 91 SPG has it and I see that it is sold on-line by Saabits and others.
@AutoAutopsy
@AutoAutopsy 8 месяцев назад
Are you referring to the weatherstripping/rubber at the 8:00 mark or 21:00 mark? I believe you’re referring to the 21:00 mark. If so, yes - there’s weatherstripping between the plastic panel and the actual body of the car

@TheBTG88 8 месяцев назад
@@AutoAutopsy The foam strips are different from the weather seal ones that you will see on the Saabits site. They are not foam and are sort of Y-shaped. When installed, you can see they form a seal along the tops of the panels.

I don’t, but it’s pretty straight forward. Each belt has a tensioner that needs to be loosened. After that, they just slide off

What’s a fair price for this body kit in your opinion?
@AutoAutopsy
@AutoAutopsy 8 месяцев назад
I’d say, assuming they’re in good condition and have all of the rails, anywhere in the $400-800 range is fair for middle 6 panels (like what I got). They’re definitely going up in value for sure, unfortunately
