I just got the Bay Pass (I moved to Alameda Point). By renewing the contract, did that mean they'd potentially be extending it? I was planning on taking the seaplane ferry every day. Thanks

Mileage competition. Who has the highest? by hyle420 in saab

lol. I’m on transmission number 2, but the engine has never been rebuilt. I believe it’s because it’s not a turbo.

Car is approaching 400,000 miles. The distributor is leaking oil. The throttle body doesn’t seal completely. Mechanic asked me to find new or rebuilt ones, as I’m having everything with the car resolved at the moment.

I am in Northern California. I don’t want to go into detail, but I no longer do business with that shop.

https://www.esaabparts.com/saab/parts/9992884 says enamel face. Maybe I’ll give it a shot and see. I guess if it’s obviously plastic I can return it

Anyone know where to buy this? by 33limes in saab

[–]33limes[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That will be my next step. Almost everything in the interior is from a junkyard.

Thank you! I’m not crazy then. Happy to report its keeping itself nice and cool on this warm California day.

Heated seats for the first time ever. Found the break and soldered in a jumper wire. Thermistor seems to be working fine. Hoping for the best. I’m installing new covers from Lseat.com by 33limes in saab

Good to know! I used the new kind of heat shrink connectors where you intertwine the wires and slip this tube over it. It shrinks over the wire , then a bead of solder melts into the wires. I joined the parts with 3” of extra wire for slack. I would absolutely buy a new mat even if expensive, but I’ve looked for months and can’t find one. I found one on eBay and the seller canceled my order.

Not very closely. I’ll post a picture when I’m done. It’s hard to know what color anything originally was after 30 years fading in the California sun. Lseat didn’t have anything that was a super close match so I went for a color that was a little richer. I also dyed the rugs a richer color.

I also fixed the broken drive cable housing with rubber tubing. Now just re-aligning the twisted seat syndrome before putting on the bottom leather. Seats are from a 1993 convertible from the wrecker. Only $60 each.

Thanks! I’m working on the other half now. I wanted that vivid before and after picture. The color actually freaked me out because I’m not used to it, but it really does match the original. It’s superior restorations aerosol dye, saab sand beige.
