Eurocars DD build thread - Saab 9-5 Aero Wagon

[eurocars]

Subframe cleaned and degreased. Going to repaint it

 

[eurocars]

Put the front end on rollers I made and got the car outside to wash the bay again




Also, when a bottle says "industrial strength degreaser", believe it. Need to get some touch up paint for the frame rail

Scrub a dub dub, that car needs some love.

 

[apollosfury]

looks good! in for progress

 

[Millennium Falcon]

Nice!

 

[eurocars]

Reorganized parts in the garage with two signs on the wall of which parts went to which car/engine. Cleaned the garage to finish teardown of the b235r (blown engine)

[/URL]

Finished painting the subframe, still need to strip and paint the control arms



Found 3 badly stripped balance shaft gears on the old engine



Comparison of the B235r (dirty pistons) from the blown engine vs the b234 pistons from the 9000 (good for 500 hp instead of 300)

Attention. Do not fall in the trap I fell into with my Daily.

I know this is a daily...BUT...been thinking about tucking the fusebox/wiring while everything is exposed. A used harness is only $45

How much more work is it to tuck the fuse box? Love your build threads btw.

I'd say do it. You would probably be tempted to do it later on down the road.
