Saab Sonett II #123

Bought this car, together with my son Fredrik, from a Swedish guy in Los Angeles in Mars 2008.

22 Mars 2009 Electro zink plated parts


Upp
We had 14kg of parts elctro zink plated, every bolt, nut and washer for the car. The result is amazing and it didn't cost that much either.

15 Mars 2009 Powder coated parts


Upp
Picked up all the parts from the paint shop. The result was fantastic. Only one bad thing, the hub for the drum breaks was painted also on the inside.

27 February 2009 Sand blastering of parts and welding


Upp
We welded some bars to keep the shape of car before cutting out the floor pan. We manage to find a complete floor for the car also, nice to change all of it. We also sent over 70 parts for sand blastering.

10 January 2009 Mounting the chassi in a fixture for welding


Upp
We drove 400 kilometers to Linköping to pick up a special fixture you use for welding the car. This makes it easier to keep the chassi straight when you are cutting and welding it.

3 January 2009 Starting of renovation


Upp
Now we have got some space in the old garage so we can actually start the renovation. We must start to see how much welding we have to do. I got a deja vu feeling, I've seen this picture before.

3 November 2008 Building a new garage


Upp
We have stoped the work with #123 temporarily beacause we are building a new garage to store the other Saabs. The garage is now ready at least on the inside.

29 July 2008 Start of renovation




Up
We started to disassemble the car outside the garage. The car looks good but it's maybe a little bit more rust than we first thought. We also found that the original paint is "Silver grey".

18 June 2008 Picking up the car



Up
After more than 2 months it was time to pick up the car. It arrived in a container together with a Chevrolet picup and a Buick -53. Everything looked good and the trip back to Tyresö went fine.

16 Mars 2008 First pictures of the car



Up
Pictures from the advert. It's difficult to see how much rust it is, it doesn't look too bad. Now we have to wait for the container to come to Stockholm. If we are lucky it will be here in May.
