Sprayway glass cleaner is an autobody secret weapon! So is naptha. Great stuff long live saab!
amen, it works wonders!
My painter who specializes in high dollar hot rods taught me that. Its been a pleasure to apprentice under his 40 years of knowledge and experience. Another great pro tip is using aluminum foil to mask off and wrap parts that doesn’t need paint. The foil forms nicely and doesn’t give way to the pressure of the paint gun.
Fun fact about panel fit on the 900: The 900 CC is one centimeter shorter on one side from the factory. This is a result of tolerances adding up differently on each side.
That spring closeup seems to be of the ventilation air intake box shutter spring, coincidentally located just below the hood gill before it is repurposed to the fender. Another excellent video from which we can learn!
Amazing guess and you nailed it! Unfortunately there is already a winner for the feature, but I sincerely appreciate you sharing your expertise regardless of being first!
That spring reminds me of the hood release latch...
very close! it was the air ventilation lid spring
Hood hinge spring!
wrong, but not a bad guess at all, you’re on the right track.
I feel like there's going to be a "yes, yes, of course it is" moment here 😊 My best "and only" guess is that it is part of the trunk floor lock, it probably has a torsion spring if I remember correctly. Can't claim to have studied that part very carefully, even though it is on my two OG900s.
it has a very close similarity to that and the hood latch spring, but it is actually the air ventilation intake lid under the hood gill
@@BumpyRoadAhead Aha, it is related to the AC system, recirculation shutter? Even though Sweden is relatively cold, I wish I had AC in my Saabs 😎
@@janneeriksson9654 Correct, and don’t worry, SAAB has your AC problems covered just as long as your window switches work 😉
I recognize that spring, i have fiddled with it years ago but i am not sure where. Coupe recirculation lid?
You’re absolutely right! Congrats for being the first one to comment correctly and stay tuned for your feature in the next video
Throttle spring?
close but not quite, it is the air conditioning intake lid spring
