Thought id start a project thread for my 900's . We currently have 2 C900 T16's a 1988 2 door ( Matthews previously ) and a 1989 3 door.

Weve kept these car relatively stock, they are both used for a daily commute and at the moment reliability is more important than making them faster ;).

Over the summer i plan on sorting out a few issues with the cars, mostly body work and rust prevention.

Will get some pics up soon ( i promise matthew ;) )

Heres teaser of the 3 door.

Ive done a bit of work on it in the last few months, new master and slave cylinders on the clutch, welding to the rear shock mounts and sorting out a few leaks and clitches. Its running well at the moment touch wood.

Barrhead? I get the feeling I have seen you about. Nice colour too, my Jubilee is a slightly darker shade. Do you have a garage? Dont fancy working on a car in Glasgow weather these days, mind you, it has been amazing the last few weeks.. Cant wait to see the pics

Nice car, but seriously that 88' is one of my fav cars on here. Did you get that front end hitch sorted yet? I still think about thoes horrid pics with that gorgeous bumper and rust free bonnet all mangled (lump in throat emoticon).

I never knew you had a Grey T16, you sneaky sneek:lol:

Looks likes its rom far south England because it has zero rust on it;)

Your car's pish

Carol keeps telling me that aswell albert. Bawbags! :D

Shadow the cars spent all its life in Glasgow ( you can tell when you look underneath ) as far as i can tell. And its got a rusty boot and some bubbling around the door handles and a few other places that needs to be looked at soon.

Dont have a garage unfortunately got a shanty town car port thats in need of a new roof. :D

The two door is still going strong and just needs a new bonnet/hood and itll look great again. Going to respray the bumpers this summer and tackle the rusty door bottoms.

Come on Rawlie. Just an FMIC & a downpipe :D You can justify it to yourself by the gains in fuel economy you'll see.

Im tempted to make a wide angle downpipe as ive got all the tubing but im trying to save all my good bits for the 99 project.

do u have a light coloured 2 door as well? I am sure one tore past me on the M8 just before the roadworks coming from Langbank..

Got a red 2 door aswell. :D Not been up round langbank recently though. Thats Sabco :evil: territory so bound to be a few round those parts.

Don't listen to the lies:lol:

The only thing you will notice is more boost in your cajones:cheesy:

I want to see how you weld up this down pipe, I am so tempted to just by the steel and have a go myself, I'm just not sure how good the stainless steel will weld to the old mild steel colar that I would butcher.

Im just using alumised steel bends from jetex, not got the fancy stainless stuff. Going to follow Si's 2.5 inch wide angle dooda.

Thats alot of presicion cutting and butting, or in reality alot of wasted piping;)

I have seen guys selling 90 degree stainless steel elbow on ebay from 1.5, 2.0, 2.5 and 3.0 inch ones starting from a tenner up to £20.

I don't think I can be bothered with the 3 inch elbow because I have to make or buy a reducer, the 2.5 seems like a good place to start and its only £15 with free posting, how does that compare to the Jetex piping your thinking about?

I have to remind myself its not the diameter of the pipe that counts its the length of the bend:lol:

Ive already got the jetex bends sitting in the shed, cant remember the price but its on there website. Precision cutting :lol: i just use a bit of tape and a big hacksaw gets it pretty good if your careful.

deam that is a good suggestion raul... but at least you still have the fastest saab in all of AZ.

deam! deam deam...

:roll: fair enough. Thought it would be a better area to show pics of my cars rather than a thread in the workshop area. I suppose the only projects cars you can have are ones where you try to get more power out of the car. What i had planned for this thread was to show what i am doing to improve them mechanically and cosmetically but thats obviously not what its about.

Weve got a word in scotland which surprisingly comes to mind FUD!

This is a projects forum. Any kind car project whether performance, resto, interior, exterior, bling... whatever.

I know the Projects forum resides underneath the Performance forum, that that's to avoid cluttering the main forum screen.

I wanna know what Raul said now:lol:

I know he is not the same guy in the Irn Bru adverts but thats what see in my head when I think of him;)

"Look at Raul touching Raul" " I dance"

Did you see the one when he gets strung up by his thong on the diving board! PMSL:cheesy:

and definitley ignore what Raul has to say... he is very good at feeding the chooks.

:D

Nice car too Bawheid! :)

cheers from down under
