Another fantastic video Memphis! It might sound churlish considering all your hard work but watching your videos, hearing the gentle whir of power tools together with your mellifluous voice and seeing the project leap forward is one of the most relaxing ways to unwind. Your attention to detail and skill set leaves me deeply impressed 👏👏👏
Important looking bit at 18:22 is for the power steering pump mounting. Something to do with stopping it from twisting when you're tightening the bolt to secure it to the engine mount. The car would work without it being installed so someone may have left it there after some work and not realised they had missed that bit out of the job.
You do good work hung over. Couldn't help but notice the Saab alternator uses a similar mount as the Golf and the power steering pump is from a 70s General Motors set up. Your friend who painted the engine bay did a great job as well. I would buy the first round if I ever could drink with you guys. Keep the video coming. Great job 👏
Just love your attention to detail and work ethic, I dont think I've ever seen such a thorough restoration project on what was a common car in its day throughout Europe.
BRILLIANT ! I admire all your work in 'reviving' this old SAAB. So much work, but that engine bay looks FAB ! I've had 4 SAAB 900s and loved every one of them - my last one, I had for 18 years. Thanks for sharing your hard work with us - looking forward to your next video. Take care 🙂
Not only a fellow Saab aficionado, but also of M539. Immediately subbed, now binge watching. I have a 900 soft turbo cabriolet languishing in the garage, with 350 tkm on it and a host of TÜV failures.
Placement of that wood stove when you were painting terrifies me. Had to treat a guy when I was a paramedic after he had a flash explosion and fire in his shop from painting near a pellet stove. Stay safe, great video!
Im also reviving an early 80s 900 turbo, I cant wait for the day I can get this level of detail into the restoration. Theres so many cavities in that engine bay for dirt to get into that Ive owned the car for 7 months and am still finding rats nests when working on a new system.
Hello Memphis, it's the right way to organise all your parts. Personally i use Plastic Zip bag for that. And always label it. You never know how long time after you'll need to put it all together.
6:29 amazing how many vehicles have Saginaw power steering pumps as OEM, this General Motors product was everywhere for over 3 decades, perhaps even 4. Dunno how common they are for OEM use today though.
Absolutely love when you post a new video, awesome work!! Just a few friendly tips for you. The timing cover is supposed to go back on the engine before the cylinder head and the gearbox so if you put it back with the head on the engine it often leaks between the head and cover where the two bolts are. So make sure it won't leak. And if the upper control arms in the front suspension is rusty or bad, you can only replace the left one with the engine still in the car. But I assume you are going the sand blast and paint them 😊
That SAAB engine gearbox combo comes apart really nicely. I am a bit inspired to tackle my Volvo engines. I know they have been done to death, but not by me. Taking the engine and box out of the car first is a good idea. Putting it back in the right order is the challenge. Nice work.
Well done indeed, Memphis. That colour is fantastic. I'm really looking forward to seeing the end result of all this work. I know it is going to be a beautiful car that works perfectly.
Looks great and thank you for having us in the garage! Next time mix water with some soap and apply to your garage floor to keep the dust down while painting.
knap staaltje werk kerel (vooral het verregaande restauratie van deze wagen, doet me vooral denken aan een youtuber die ik volg Kalvin Malli) ik ben zeer benieuwd naar het eindresultaat,this is gonna be great keep it up 👍
Super! Going to be better than new! A very unusual green coulor, have not seen many dark greenmetallic Saab 900;s here in Sweden. Perhaps they where more popular abroud.👍👍
How well must a car company designed and build there car if ALL possible screws came off that easy 😳😳 love your afford and the fact it will bring a really cool car back on the road ❤️🙏🏻
Wow! I remember commenting once with a regret that you didn't use similar opportunity to renovate engine bay or chassis with everything taken off. Now I'm impressed how far you gone with it. :) good job!
Geweldig wat een leuke video! Het wordt steeds professioneler. Prachtig die originele kleur. Super dat Elias je zo geholpen heeft. Wat een top kerel die Elias. Dat verzinken wordt ook mooi. Heb ik ook gedaan bij een van mijn Škoda’s. Glimt je zo tegemoet. Ga zo door! 👌🏻
You know it's going to be a cool video from the start, no one works on boring things if they're hung over.
So true 😎😏👍
Had spine surgery so got time to binge watch all your vids. 👍👍 Happy days👍
Get well soon, buddy ☺️
Get well soon 😮
Cheers. 🍻👍
As an Aussie I had to do a double take of K Rudd on the thumbnail - he’s right though. It’s definitely mint! 👌
Yeah.. aussie click-bait or wut? geeeze. K-Rudd approved?
The best cure for a hangover is an engine and gearbox strip down, the car is going to look really good 👍
The thumbnail though. Somehow my interest in a former PM has crossed paths with car-tube? Amazing 🤯

The washer you found in the engine bay is for the power steering pump mounting
Thank you

So good to see this Saab 900 coming back to life - fantastic!
A superb job Memphis. A gorgeous green paint finish at the end. 😀

That’s not dirt, grease and oil....that’s preservative! Another great episode 👍
Hello from Turkey. Love your vids!
It strikes me how much effort you want to invest in this project. I admire your patience. I'm pretty sure the result will be amazing.
When I was younger, I did the same things like you. It's very nice what's happend when you see the results from your work.
Solid work Memphis, looks great!

Well done, Stijn. Looking forward to the continuation. I myself have a 9-5 that I have worked at for the past nine years. 🙂👍
Memphis, your best video ever. Loved it

You are following the steps of M539 Restorations!
... Applause!
The Saab is going to look amazing 👍
Well done sir, a tremendous result. Thank you for sharing.
Wow! Looking great. This car is going to be superb.
The green came out beautiful
Australian here - so funny to see a previous Australian prime minister used in your video thumbnail. Kevin Rudd!

I just cant believe your patience! You amaze me every time. Love your work. Makes me want to do some restauration as well.
Looks great and thank you for having us in the garage!
Next time mix water with some soap and apply to your garage floor to keep the dust down while painting.
Continue good job and be yourselves.
Most satisfying progress so far.
Cant wait to see this on the roads again!

What a fantastic job you have done!I was going to scrap my 900Turbo but you made me change my mind. Thanks 🙏
This is what a good overhaul looks like
Cool 😎 w8 next transformation Saab 900 😊
Nice work! When you're all done with it this Saab will probably look better than it was when it came out of the factory :)
That dude did a good job !
Supadupa, real nice result and really from the rock bottom 👍👍👍
Engine bay looks better than from the factory when it was brand new, so you did pretty spanking good job!
Yet another great instalment! I'm loving how this is coming together.
Nice Work!!! If you want to take the timing cover of you will need a new head gasket, otherwise the engine will always leek in this area.
That's an amazing job on the engine bay. 👌
Great work! Pleased you're giving this Saab so much attention.
Wow not bad for a hangover job😉✌️
Congratulations for a very good job and a handsome car.
Wow!!! Looking great Memphis!!!
Well done both of you this is a channel worth following
You must really like the car Mr memphis it's a super job thanks for video 👍
Mooi man! Goed om te zien dat er een 900 classic gered wordt.
Engine bay looks magnificent, this car deserves it though! Thanks for sharing.
After a crappy Monday at work, I needed to see something like this
Great job guys 👌🏻
Nice job man keep it up
Beautiful work as always!!! 😊
Als iemand iets simpels laat lijken dan weet je dat hij er goed in is. Respect!
Looking fwd to the next one 👍
You are really getting in there 👍🏼💪🏻Nice work
really clean work....
Did exactly what you are doing now over 30 years ago with my 900 EMS from 1979. The rusting wheelarches are a constant problem on these cars.
Wow!!!!! good work! Greetings from Sicily
Wow! I Didn’t have the confidence to strip quite so much out of mine when I pulled the engine. I definitely want to get some parts zink plated though.
Thank you, again, for a good video!
Compliments my friend !!
Awesome work! This will be fun to follow.
A lot of work - great job 👍👍
It look really really good. Well done
