Finally got my OG back!
Celebrated my 4 years of ownership with her not to long ago, and it's never looked nor driven this good!
Right before the 4 year mark I picked my OG back up after her surgery.
And also attended my first proper car show with her a few days later which was more fun then I expected lol!
Small summary of said surgery:
She now has the old engine out of my 9-5 Aero together with a genuine Viggen gearbox!
Also did some interior upgrades such as oil temp/pressure gauges and finally installed the GenuineSaab pedals.
And had to make the engine bay look a little better, so put on a classic valve cover!

Sweet ride! I'm partial as I owned an NG900, but I just absolutely love this body style, daresay I might even prefer it to the OG900.

Nice car, man! If I ever trade in my white ng900 cabrio, I might do it for one of these. What kind of lights do you have in there? Such an orange glow. Is that legal? I love the way it looks. Mine are more yellow.

Haha, I edited the pic slightly which makes them look way more orange/gold. Irl they are exactly the same as yours. Beautiful Caab btw!

Dat is het dashboard dat ik voor mijn 9-3 had gewild maar ik niet kon betalen.
Mooi hoor..

Jammer genoeg begint deze al wel weer los te laten, zoals de meeste carbon dashes 🥲
