I have to write something in here or else the filters won't let me post. Basically the project and all of the info on this car is located elsewhere and I can't update two threads at once so just follow the links at the top.

[Si]

Do you have an ETA for the Carlsson yet?

So that little list (and I'm sure I've forgotten a couple of things) I'm going to be busy for the next year or so...! I'm going to be working on the important things first though. So all the stuff that enables it to become drivable takes priority.

Bought a turbo, got a welding kit and also bought the trim for refitting the glass. So things are moving on.

16saabs did a nice red one for me - ask him if you don't want to do yourself. He has a black one on he-bay now also.

I do have a buffing wheel and buffing soap and all that stuff so I can probably do a DIY on it.
