9-5 Linearsport Sp -03 manuell // VinterslädenIt’s been awhile and lockdown slowed me down a bit – but the pickup is starting to come back together…
Everything back together after flatting and polishing…
Rear lights wired up with red LED brake and sidelights (the normal bulbs were slowly melting the lenses). Overiders ’offered up’ to work out where to fit the tailgate cables (now done).
Just waiting for a new pair of shocks (after fitting these adapter plates) so I can fit the rear wings and then bumpers etc.
Fitted the screen yesterday – it was a tight fit before, so adding the aluminium insert made it even more interesting to fit!
There was a LOT of sanding involved, until I was ready to paint a layer of Upol high build 2k primer.
I learnt a lot from this video…
I bought a £50 devilbiss spray gun from ebay and spent some time getting the air pressure right – following this video…
The paint was still had a slight ’orange peel’ finish, so I spent some time polishing the paint, I found this video useful too…
Just put loads of layers of paint on – so you don’t rub through to the primer beneath, don’t ask me how I know this!
One thing I wish I’d done before painting, would have been to bolt the panels back on to the car (I took them off to sand them off the car) to check the fit and panel gaps.
Good luck with yours, make sure you mask everything well (including the garage – the paint WILL go everywhere) and use a good mask in a ventilated area. I should have had an air fed mask on as I was using 2k paint, but I had a huge fan extracting the paint fumes out of the building, which helped.
Well, it has been awhile since I last updated this project!
I should have done the engine bay at the same time as the body, I could not face the 50 years of grime! But it seemed a shame to to just leave it especially if I had to open the hood at a car show!
I will let the pictures do the talking…
Great job 🙂
The aluminium list is ment to be fitted in the rubber sealing before mounting the screen

”fitted the screen yesterday”
The aluminium insert WAS fitted to the rubber this time, I just meant that it was a tight fit when we first fitted the screen (once the older screen surround had been welded in) and that was without the insert.
I hope that makes more sense.
I am hoping to take the pickup to the Saab International meeting in August – LOTS to do before then!
Simon, there are some issues with external links from time to time but not allways. It took some fiddeling but now it looks good.
I think of the forum as an old car, its not just to flick of a switch, I have to tweak a little there and poke on something there to get the expected result.SAABoholic

I’ll try not to leave it so long next time!
Have a great weekend,

Wow! Congrats!🥳
There is a gear shift adjustment guide in the original shop manual.96 V4 1975 ”Bollen”
96 V4 1979 ”Sköldpaddan”I’m hoping you can help me!
Having taken the pickup for a test drive I can’t get 3rd and 4th gears!?!
I’ve read the manual (which describes putting the car into 4th gear), but as I can’t actually get it into 4th, it’s a bit of a struggle. I’ve tried adjusting the column and taken the car on test drives, but can only get 1st, 2nd and reverse.
I’m wondering if I put the gearchange mechanism back together incorrectly or if there’s a special procedure to hooking up the gearchange mechanism to the gearbox (ie: the gearstick needs to be in reverse or neutral etc.)?
I have tried to post pictures and even a video – but for some reason I can’t do that on here. Mats Jedmo has kindly helped with this, but as it’s a unday I don’t want to bother him today!
I hardly think Mats would mind!😎
When I wrenched with this, I initially ONLY got gears 3, 4 and R!🤪
There must be som way to ”reverse enigineer” the procedure?96 V4 1975 ”Bollen”
