Happy 10th Anniversary!

Great website, and I just checked and my first post here was 10 years ago yesterday. Hard to believe how fast time flies.

Here are my Saabs:

2000 Saab 9-5 Aero,...

Repaired the fuel door lock by replacing the 12V motor. This is a lot cheaper than buying the whole lock, less than $15 vs $135.

Now my fuel is secure again.

A few small parts arrived the other day. eeuro stopped delivering to Canada so I used eSaab for the first time.

Instead of less than a week delivery it took 18 days. So not as good. But I was...

Thanks.

The 'new' ones though are in better physical shape so I will switch them out in the spring for a different look.

Picked up a new to me set of wheels today. Saab 60th Anniversary Edition 17 x 7.5 ALU71's. Previously from a 2011 9-3 Aero and in pretty good shape.

I will clean them up over the winter and have...

I replaced the parking brake cable. Needed a new one to pass provincial inspection.

Access is made by the dropping rear section of exhaust system and then bending the aluminum heat shield down to...

Sure!

Updated to stage 3 ecu, new synthetic oil, 3.8 bar fuel regulator and fresh spark plugs.

My 2006 has a auto trans dipstick from the factory so it can be done.

Thanks Frank. I would say that it is a canopy roof prototype. Too bad there isn't any video of it in action.
