@@enfield7123 Good luck in your search.. 👍

@@photosofpickles Yes found this out recently. It would be great if it ever worked but hopefully I’ll sort it one day.. 😂

@@gregj7916 Rust by the bucket full but thankfully and hopefully isolated to the front. No point in sharing because they were a total waste of time for me.. ☹️

Thanks.. Yes a setback but we live and learn. Hopefully now onwards and upwards.. lol

Yes I believe so. 3/8” copper tube formed into a circle or the tool to hold the plate fins back I believe to be needed. Cable ties to hold slave cylinder back and large thin paint scrapers to help slide pressure plate back in. Oh what fun I have coming my way! 😱😂

@MarksMadProjects1 yep, or 2.5mm electrical cable does the trick if you have some laying about

@ Yes good shout, plenty of cable from years of sparking. 👍

They are fabulous cars when they run. This one hasn’t drove for 15 years and really fighting me at the moment with the fly wheel & starter motor popping their clogs. Rebuilt starter motor is back in place but I don’t want to ruin it because the flywheel ring gear is toast! 😱😂

TBH as I said I never got any further with removal because I was able to access the back of the master cylinder linkage without removing the bolster. I did see on the 86 schematic drawing an extra 2 more bolt fixings midway but didn’t investigate further. 👍

Thank you. It will need UK MOT certificate. Hopefully it’s last because after 40 years old it becomes exempt. Lots of assessment and welding work to do yet. I will check out your videos.. 👍

@@Semi0ffGrid7 one step forward and ten steps back at the moment. 😢

@@MarksMadProjects1 I think it's going to look great when you're finished, it's a thoughtful restoration with attention to detail!

@@Semi0ffGrid7 Hi, Thank You for your continued support. Great that you have a passion for these wonderful cars. I have a long way to go and this will be explained in future videos coming soon. 👍

@@Semi0ffGrid7 Yes quite happy with it. It was really warped and hanging from one fastener for years. I’m just stabilising as much as possible for the time being and will rework them later in the rebuild. Into the storage shed it goes. Lots more to get through.. 😱😂

Hi, thanks for messaging. Apologies for quality of video. I’m fairly new to this and at the moment I just shoot and post without any fancy editing. I hope to improve on this in the future. I’ve watched the market place for some years and the last flatly16s was for sale about 5 years ago in Europe. DVLA only list mine as Sorn in 1986 but not sure how accurate that is. I’m in the middle of taking the front end off but the bonnet has to come off too. Working on a drive under sheets isn’t ideal. Yes I think you’re correct about the gearbox’s. The front changed in 87 and around then the front GB mount changed too. I’m not going into too much detail of the work/repairs and welding because there’s some great guys out there doing that like Seaside Garage, Memphis and Terje’s Saab. I’ll be posting updates and troubles along the way. I guess we’re going on a journey together. 😱 Kind Regards.. M

@@MarksMadProjects1 Hi Mark, sorry just seen this reply, I was subbed to your channel but for some reason I had to resub just now, however I did change the name on my YT, maybe had something to do with it. I am now catching up with your vids. I left another comment on one of your recent vids. I am very interested in what you are doing so will follow your progress as I want to work on my Saabs too. I know this sounds a bit forward but maybe you should consider building a garage, obviously that pre supposes that you have space and access for one. I am in the process of doing this myself. I am in Grimsby, whereabouts in the country are you based?

@@Semi0ffGrid7 I have a garage but it’s full of years of hoarding junk. Sadly wouldn’t fit the Saab anyway. I struggled but managed the Mini restoration but not the ideal working environment. I keep thinking of all those enjoyable welding splatters to follow and raining down on me. 😱 I’m UK NW based, hence the breaks in the short videos and waiting for better weather. I hope to cover in as much detail the differences between 1984-86 Turbo’s and the changes that came around 1987. Handbrake changes etc. 👍

@@Semi0ffGrid7 Hi, Yes had this one nearly 30 years and a hell of a car back in the day. Handled amazing but I guess they should as they were built to drive in snow. I’ll update as much as possible if people like yourself are showing interest. Enjoy your restorations.. 👍

900’s Built like a tank and rust like a tank.. 😂
