The cowl and surrounding areas have been penetrated by rust in several areas and it won't pass inspection again. I don't have the time or the space to deal with craigslist bums so it's off to the scrapyard I'm afraid. If I had any other option I'd pursue it but unfortunately that's not the case. It's a shame too, I got it road worthy again after a couple of years of sitting with seized brakes but the cancer is too advanced

I dunno it also has a cowl induction style hood scoop that might be solid bondo.

It was $250 and I needed the headlights and a few other trim pieces for my 855 tarbo. it was also hooned to shit and has a popped head gasket, I would've fixed it if it was the nice dark blue metallic that is under all that booger the interior was nice until I started throwing parts in it. Also scored and it had the rear jump seat.

Sorry for the late reply, I actually forgot that I even posted in this thread. Anyway it does boost. But it doesn't go as far into the white side of the guage as it should. I know that I need to replace that pcv system, but would that fix it? Most of the lines are pretty brittle, so I feel like it should help it in some way. I know that the tcv line isn't in good condition at all, for now would me just replacing that help it? Luckily I'm getting a decent paying job soon, so I can toss money towards the needed maintenance. Timing belt and water pump are still good for a while.
>>
>>14989057
Just read up on what a tcv is and I'm definitely just going to grab one out of the next v70 that comes through my local scrap yard. Sounds like it could definitely be my issue.

>will replacing/cleaning pcv system help?
if it does it will be very marginal. what it will do is help take excess crankcase pressure off the top end of the engine while boosting
>tcv line is in bad shape
replace it, get some hose clamps (or zip ties) and some vacuum lines from the irish or vatozone, it will be less than $5

200 and 700 is too old

no.

Here's where you fucked up:

I don't want something with 5 owners and a million kms.
940 had improved chassis design, incl. side impact stuff and airbag for safety
even the v90 interior looks like the 740s (i.e.vgear selector)

v70 p80 has space for driveline as it had awd.
just gotta fuck around with rad/intercooler placement, maybe hammer the firewall and tunnel a bit

>940 had improved chassis design, incl. side impact stuff and airbag for safety

that's the 960 m8

>Introduced in September 1990, the 940 was essentially a cosmetic reskin of the 740. All drivetrains, and most options available in the 940 had been available in the 740, with the exception of the 780 Coupé. The 940 was more closely related to the 740 than the 760, sharing the same dashboard, drivetrain choices, and sheet metal from the A-pillar forward. In contrast, the 960 was an evolution of the 760.

there are 240 and 740s with manuals, and Canada got manuals;they don't require much more attention than the auto aside from clutch replacements, but finding stock turbo redblocks is uncommon.

Just bought an '08 S40 with 99K on the odometer. First swede car. I paid $5500, $6500 out the door with taxes, fees and Florida tags are like $450 for new ones.

Clean Carfax, one owner, carfax showed it was dealer maintained on a lease up to 80,000 miles then it was purchased by the guy leasing it.

Anything I should know about these cars? Fucking love it so far, sexy styling, I just wish I could swap out the head unit but the climate control and all that shit is hooked into it so I know it's not happening.

Parts aren't that hard to find for the gm era saabs. I can generally get any part i need from the internet for my '06.

its the older saabs that are tough

i remember i was going to get pic related for my first car but my parents wanted the car to have an airbag and this one had the airbag failure light on.
I ran around everywhere looking for the correct part to fix it and called a few saab specialist.
Nothing.

By the time i convinced my parents to ignore it and allow me to buy the car the guy sold it to someone out of state.
Im still salty about it because i cant find another 9000 aero in that condition

Got the 850 home in one piece but it needed a new battery which was expected. Ironing out all the quirks but for $400 I'd say I got a solid car. Needs a good waxing and detailing but we'll save that until 1) it's sunny and 2) I install new brakes/rotors

nice, $400 is a steal.
I found the brakes to be pretty easy, the only weird thing is the baby drum brakes inside the rear rotors for the parking brake. also clamp off the brake hose for the caliper you're working on otherwise it'll force pad material back up the lines and the ABS will hate it

Well yes, he learned driving by playing Gran Turismo and at some point he came to me and showed me a 850 for a great price that he wanted to buy because it was a great deal and he was planning to go to driving school in a few months (he would be finished by now).
But he had no money, and so he did not buy that car. Then a month later he saw that V40 which looked great on the internet, so we went there but it turned out to be really shit. However we paid so much for the train ticket that we just bought it. (I paid 100€, he paid 200€)

We drove home with stolen license plates and parked the car at the schools parking lot (I'm not underage dw), it was pretty funny driving that thing. He was literally driving a car for the first time in his life and he was going 100mph on the Autobahn when the 5th gear just kept popping out. I didn't really expect to survive that desu

The driver side door on the car literally would not lock, which we didn't notice until a day after we bought it. The key was just the metal part of the key with that small electric block glued onto it, the plastic housing just got "lost"

The car was trash and we paid too much, but we didn't pay a lot and it was worth it I think. Fun memories.

RIP Blue Thunderbolt
