    Its going to go over $1500, which is more than I would go.

    I would just repaint it, restore the interior, fix anything else and just cruise with it. No mods just cruisin'

    I am on the hunt for one of these 99 Turbos, Someday I will nab one. They really top out at around $7,500 for a pristine low mileage one. So a fun little classic car for not too much coin.

    Oh...hi

    I may need more...I probably will. I hear around 120sqft covers the entire car. This was expensive as it was. I have something else for the roof line, pillars and floor. I sit around 72-75db on the highway. Lets see how low it goes.

    So I did the sound deadening...no rattles in that car anymore. Sold off what I had left. Yippie.

    Things happening this weekend:
    -Steam bath the engine bay (top to bottom)
    -Gold foil heat wrap delivery pipe
    -Clean throttle body
    -Install painted turbo heat shield
    -Polish shiny parts
    -Front tie rods
    -Onstar antenna replacement

    Other things on the plate to do:
    -Replace driver's seat bracket
    -Install Kenwood DDX5901HD radio
    -Fix recircualtion motor arm for HVAC
    -Finish projector retrofit
    -Replace passenger headlight washer
    -Track down resuspension clunk (50/50 on whether the exhaust is hitting or something in the suspension)
    -Hirsch Pedals
    -Lower control arms with new bushings and balljoints

    I have a water pump and alternator on the shelf for the day those fail...and when they do...I've replaced everything else in the engine bay.

    June 1st the car goes into an auto body shop and comes out 100%...RUST FREE and the back half of the car repainted. I'm considering repainting the front half of the car next year.

    I used close to 40 sheets of the same stuff on Regal. I liked it, was great quality. No questions in my mind that it helped a ton. Did you also sludge the doors and trunk?





    Car looked like this when it got tinted

    I didn't do the sludge. I only did the front doors so far, rear doors will happen in time; upper part of the dash, inside and bottom part of the dash will happen when I rip it out again; sections of the roof, the door trim pieces were done; the rear deck and rear wheel wells were done. I really just wanted to kill rattles and I did. I went to do the floor and the sound insulation and deadening is a bit excessive on Saab's part already, in fact if I added the Luxury Liner Pro...I wouldn't have been able to put the carpet back or anything else for that matter. Car is pretty decent at 75mph on the highway. I have no exhaust drone, never have. I can only hear my exhaust if I'm on it and above 3,500 rpm.

    Good stuff though, that **** sticks to anything no problem.

    FWIW The sludge is Spectrum with activator added in. IIRC you can spray Spectrum to the under body so and it protects the surface as well as deadens sound.

    Read this and laughed

    Saabs are not as reliable as Audis. They spend more time in the repair shop than its German competitor. And Audi has a higher resale value than Saab.

    So Phase 1 of this project completes soon, some big things happen next week and on July 4th weekend I finish Phase 1.

    Phase 2 begins this winter....and then Phase 3.

    Hint, it involves an LSD and GTX2971R

    Or...I could leave it the **** alone because right now the thing hums along great and I have no reason to do the engine build. But if I have the time and ability to get it done, I would like to.
