1986 Saab 900 Turbo - White
Discussion
I don’t think that looks too bad at all and will be nice to know it’s all solid again underneath.
My 900 is currently undergoing similar work at TR, plus a load of mechanical stuff (black T16s, if you noticed it). Like you, the decision on getting the work done was never in doubt. Had mine over twenty years now!

The one with 3 spoke wheels? That's very cool. My 900 is currently undergoing similar work at TR, plus a load of mechanical stuff (black T16s, if you noticed it). Like you, the decision on getting the work done was never in doubt. Had mine over twenty years now!
An Easter bonus from the Saab ... more rust.
Sadly even more discovered at the jacking points - understandable and predictable given the previous screwdriver-prodding yardsticks, but this is all turning out to be quite expensive...
Front valance finally done.
Those holes near the cross members in various wheelarches...
For dessert, the boot floor. The new custom battery cradle is in (bottom right), new cabling, fusework and terminals installed and the whole area treated to a dinosaur-named Super Tough liner and rust dismissing-treatment.
Happy Easter everyone - may your project be running and bills be small. I'm off to hawk my Easter eggs on the driveway to recoup some pennies.

Be thankful you have a Saab 900 and not something like the BMW E28 5-series. Saabs are so easy to weld / repair and they rust so much less compared with other cars of the era. There's a youtube series about Taylors 5-series being welded up at the moment and the rust is just so horrible and requires so much disassembly to get to it all. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iAGJTFEWGuY
