Hi!
I was in Trollhattan one week ago and searching for some spare parts there, but no luck… 🙂
Because of some rot I need parts from front of the car – the metal parts where bumper is attached. Second of all I would need c900 gearbox with all parts (now i have automatic), front driver seat (beige color), etc …
Did not do anything about renovation so far, but I will do now! We just pulled car out today and we need to fix rotten parts.
Engine and transmission are also going out.
I need to prepare it for painting before winter, so I can put it back together until summer!:)
In 2 weeks I am going for a trip to Sweden. Do you recommend any good places in Gothenburg or Stockholm to look for c900 parts?
No problem! We managed to removed top and also reconnect the pump. It was basicly mission impossible, but we did it. There is really a lot of work to do to put everything out of the car. I will post pictures tommorow!
I have first question.. 🙂 During weekend I will remove top and I am searching for manuals. So far I have found a lot of them on saabclub.gr, but this one covers just changing the top and not also removing mechanism and window..
Thank you,
MatejI imported car in 2009 from USA (New York). I received it in march 2010 and I had problems to get paper until october 2011. This year it was the first season that i drove with the car. It drives very well, engine is in very good condition, but auto transmission leaks. I think I will change it to manual during renovation.
Yesterday I removed the interior and this week I wll remove roof (also in very good condition!).
Car has full equipment: AC, airbag, leather seats (electric and heated), remote starting,…I will also need to buy some spare parts, but I think I will find a lof of this here on forum…
Here are more photos of the car:
Hi to everyone!
In september 2011 I finally managed to register my c900 convertible. It also has oldtimer status, so I have 90% discount on insurance (fantastic!!).
In next post I will resend my newest photo of the car. Now I am driving car as a summer vehicle. Auto trans. caused some problems, because all the fluid was gone. I need to refill it, and I can see that auto trans is not holding fluid, so I need to add it little by little. I hope I will solve this problem when I remove the engine and transmission. I have still not decided it I will keep it automatic or switch to manual. It is very good driving on local roads, but when the speed is high, there is just too much noise.
I am still having problems locating good parts for the car. Does anyone of you in Sweden knows good place to find parts? I tryed blocket.se, but did not find anything really good. I also tryed in Italy, but mostly parts there are gone the same day they come (very rare car). So if you know any good contacts, or any of you sell parts, I would be really happy (need parts that are mostly for all c900s from -87-94).
Thank you!
Dashboard is OK. I bought a new one (well, used one). But as I said, pictures are from april 2010. I will post new one on monday!
You are correct, there are not plenty c900 here. Too bad that ”local shops” don’t use internet, because there is no problem for me to pay via credit card/paypal.. I often check blocket.se, but so far I couldn’t find any seats (or just seat covers), that would fit c900 convertible.
Hi!
Thank you for your answer. Yes, I have already bought cleaner and conditioner from Liquid Leather – Gliptone (http://www.liquidleather.com/” onclick=”window.open(this.href);return false;). On this computer I only have photos before I cleaned (it took me couple of days to clean the whole interior) and conditioned them. I will show picture of clean seats on monday. I will paint seats, but first I need to know if there is a way to ”fix” seat cover. As you can see, it looks like it is detached. Or maybe is it worn out? Have you ever tried to get seat apart? Here you can see manual: http://www.twinsaabs.com/900_repair/seatskins/front.asp” onclick=”window.open(this.href);return false; . I want leather to look almost perfect. 😀
Here is before picture (you can also see damaged dashboard – someone damaged it during stealing radio (probably during the shipping).
Ok, let me introduce my car. It comes from USA, I bought it in december 2009, and it arrived here in march 2010. It is very well equiped. It is last year model (1994, but it is not CE), so it has air conditioning, auto gearbox (don’t know if I’ll keep it, or install manual), fog-lights, everything electric, new roof, front heated electric leather seats, upgraded speakers. It also has remote engine start with a remote control 😎 . It basicly has 160 hp (B202 engine, turbo).
Bad news is that the car is sitting in garage, because of our stupid law (our law + european law) I still did not manage to get all the papers I need. They are claiming that the car is produced for USA, and not for EU, but I hope I will manage that soon enough (if not, I will have to export it to Germany, where I can get all the papers, and import it back again to Slovenia).
I have already bought aero body kit (I still don’t have rear aero bumper extension – so if anyone has it, I would like to buy it), and also 16′ super aero wheels. When I will have time I will make wooden dash,.. I believe I will fully restore it next winter.
Here is one more picture of a c900 being transported.In Slovenia there is 5 (!!!) c900 convertibles and 1 (!!!) c900 t16 aero (1984). So this car is super-rare over here (maybe we have more Ferraris then c900 in Slovenia 😀 ). I also own 9-5 (2000) 2.3 lpt.
PS: You cars look fantastic. Just checked the cars on garaget.
