Update

I haven't posted in some time. Life has been very busy and crazy. Someone totaled my 9000 aero while I was DJing. Still gathering parts for the vert. I plan to finally get it running this winter.

New Tradition

Today I started a new tradition. I raised a saab flag in honor of my dad and did a photo shoot with the aero. I also took my girlfriend to meet my dad. I will post pics later!

It's been way too long

It seems my life went into a tail spin after my dad passed away. I haven't felt like working on the airflow. That is about to change. A fellow saablinker made me aware of the fact that my story was published in NINES. This has lit a fire under me so to speak. My life is utter chaos right now. I am still working for the same company doing events as well as working on another project. I took time off of school because I just can't seem to concentrate on it. I still have a house to empty and 2 cars to build including the airflow.

I would like to thank everyone for the support that they have given me over the last year and a half. I feel like I have let the saab community down by not finishing this build. Rest assured it will be completed. Any help is appreciated as my father was my right hand man when working on my cars. Parts donations are welcome but I am not excepting any monetary donations as of now.

I added a new car to the stable, a 95 9000 aero. She is red with light grey leather. Of course it is a 5spd. She gave me hell when I first bought it by throwing a rod bearing but she has a brand new motor in her now and is loving boost. I love this car and I know my dad would be proud of the fact that I swapped the motor myself.

These blogs my be taking on a new meaning in the next few months till it gets warmer. I haven't written about my fathers death in a while and now that I am doing it feels great. I guess in some ways it is quite therapeutic.

Comments are always welcome.

If I had the money.....

Well It looks like the airflow is going on the back burner again. My new aero blew its motor so i had to buy a new one to put in it.

Out with the old and in with the cool...

Well today my mom and I managed to move the 900s parts car AKA rusty out of the garage and move the vert in the garage. So now I can really get to work on it!! The snap on man will be bringing me a nice new E-16 torx impact so I can get the head off the 900s motor. If I have time I will upload pics later. I am going out of town for work in a few hours.

The night time is the right time for working on saabs....

I have got a lot done. Split the trans from the motor and got the intake off. The head is on there so tight that I cracked a socket. I need to order a E-16 socket.

Drew vs. Parts car round 1

Well last night Rusty and I squared off for what I hoped to be the last time but boy was I wrong. I all most completely had the car stripped on the inside and was working on getting fuel pump out when rusty fought back. With two jabs he managed to draw blood with out me knowing. I glanced at my hand and noticed blood all over it. I made my way inside to clean my wounds and called it a night. It turns out while trying to take the supply and return lines off the pump and braking them, one managed to slice my finger open. I have the exhaust, fuel tank, rear bumper, rear abs sensors, door locks, Ebrake handle and wing to pull.
