Fantastic video. Really enjoyable. That old swedish girl is already looking much better. The paint has held up quite well considering a decade on no love. Can't wait for the next episode. 😀
I like this channel. Its the most relatable in my opinion. Too many channels full of Lambo and ferrari content. This is full of classics of my childhood.keep up the good work 👏 👍
The „nothing to see here “ batch made me laughing soooo loud dude 😅😅 As always : greatest respect for the work you’ve done ! The result is impressive !! ❤️❤️❤️
@@1881Gordon while watching the vids you have to listen really good for not missing all the little jokes😅 and every time I watch them, I’m totally impressed by his English skills …I would hardly speak that fluent in front of a audience 🙂
I'm about to buy my first car, a Saab 900 classic for myself thank you for doing these video, it gives very clear view of how to maintain a car or inspect them, it helps a lot!!
Hands down, I think my favorite tool I own is my shampoo machine. Changed my life ! No more dusty smell inside the car in summer or cat vomit on the bedroom carpet 🤣
Young man awesome job...congrats to you. We both have the same methods, idealogy, principle & policy in working methods....you are just like my son & workig methods too. Awesome to see your working methods...no short cuts but with positive success always.
This was a great purchase just because you got to practice paint correction by “polishing a turd”, it may just be “lipstick on a pig”, but it’s only a pig because of the rust. I was wrong, this is a cool project, that’s because you are making it a cool project. Once again you don’t disappoint.
17:52 "Nothing to see here" XD cracked me up! Amazing job with the cleaning and I hope to see it back on the road in the end! Greatings from Sweden and a fellow saab fixing youtuber!XD
Good to see you taking care of the old girl! I have a soft spot for those old wedge-shaped SAABs since I spent a lot of my childhood in various SAABs and especially several 900-variants. Thanks for the great vid!
I'm loving the Saab content Memphis, I really hope you can resurrect it in a similar way you did with your e28......I'm actually jealous of your collection now....mk1 golf, BMW e28 Volvo 245 & now saab 900 16v( you van keep your other cars as they are to "new: for.my taste) 👍👍👍
It’s a shame that Saab are notorious for rusting in the rear wheel arches. Saab is very close to my heart as it was the first car I had. And I went to the Saab museum in Sweden to really get an understanding. I can’t wait for this project. And I really really like your videos ❤️ Keep it up
Nicely done! It might have been a little premature, but it was like saying "it's going to be alright" to the Saab. Maybe it believes in life again and even starts a little better. 😄
Fantastic job, Memphis. The looks cared for, and that is a really big start. I don't know what paint Saab and Volvo were using in the late 80s early 90s, but it is incredible. Some basic maintenance and it comes up as good as new. My 240DL Estate is the same as the Saab. A good clean and wax and it shines up beautifully. I can't wait to see what you will do with the Saab. I'm just very glad you are saving it.
Volvo man myself I have a 16 year old V50 1.8 (115000 miles) under powered ...yes but I love her and am always working on her. she is called Freda. I always wanted a a 900 turbo, although your 900 has a lot of structure problems I feel is fixable, motor sounds good. keep at it your'e doing well. Sub and like from me
Hi from uk memphis👋👍 absolutely take my hat to this one my friend 👌 you did a excellent job so far getting her 1 step closer to life again hope the will it run goes ok for you for us 👍 I hope the swedish in her provails and she is nice to you for the appreciation you have shown her already👌 great job mate👍💪 thanks for your time and be safe see you soon👍👋
WOW... This brings me back.... I was a SAAB mechanic for many years...bought and sold many of these...sadly ones like that were stripped of parts (usable) and sent to crusher...My favorite was an '86 SPG... sold it with over 300K miles....the biggest area to inspect is the lower A arm mounts. That area rusted out terribly (mostly on the passengers side).... Good luck with that!! PS....Pinion bearings were also a common issue..
Our family owned 4 900s, 2 79s, an 85, and an 86, before we moved to some 9000s and then 9-5s. Unfortunately parts are hard to find and quite expensive for any SAAB so we are driving Subarus now. I hope you can complete the project and get it back on the road. Best of luck!
As a SAAB 900 enthusiast I have to say I admire your positive spirit! I would have given up seeing all that rust between wheel arch and bottom plate. I will definitely follow for more. Also your fresh view on a 900 as a non expert makes me experience them all over again.
Congratulations on reaching 100k subscribers. This will be an interesting project! I especially like your idea of of driving the Saab to Sweden. Wishing you continued success!
Awesome work cleaning this up, starting to look like a real car again! At some point pull up the front carpet and check under the insulation pads and maybe rip them out. They're called floor rusters in the Saab world.
That looks so much better you have managed to get the paint up or shiny I didn't think it would come back up again look forward to seeing the rest what you do to it
Amazing job. Crazy how sitting cars can look when someone knows what there doing. My first two cars where an 82 n 91 900 turbo. Now I'm 40 looking for my 3rd 24 yrs later.
That's quite a rare beast - A 16v base model with no sunroof, steel wheels and wind-up windows. The ignition barrel will be the hardest part to replace but I replaced mine with an RFID tag starter mechanism
It's amazing how durable some old paint can be .it came out great ! Looking forward to you getting this old girl back on the road . I've always had a soft spot for these cars
😍😍😍😍😍 can't wait for part 2, 900 are the best of the best, I have 93 from year 2000 and It has similar figures. It's pain in the a** when you need to look for parts ,but It's totally worth it ❤️🔥 Thanks for this nice videos, you did great job on it 💯❤️
Dag Memphis ! The fabric on the doors can be 'stretched' again, not sure it is glued. For the radio, the must is an old Blaupunkt 'Stockholm' of course but yours is fine. For the wheels, I'd discard these cheap steel ones for alloy ones (the elegant, ones, the Turbo ones are too sporty in my view). The color shines nicely, Platana Grey ? Love this thread, polishing was utterly useless but so enjoyable !
@@Azureecosse Indeed, most 'factory' head units were Clarion (branded 'Clarion made for Saab'). I also saw Philips units in some publicity material. However, mine (sold new in Belgium) came with a low-end Blaupunkt (Cambridge or Verona) that a replace with a early nineties Stockholm (better unit, the 'Stockholm' is obviously an added bonus).
Good job here! You are inspiring me to polish my E28. It should get a respray in the future, but I first want to tackle the mechanical bits. Using the old paint to practice polishing skills is a good idea. And I am certainly gonna try out the polytrol, as my black plastic bita have all faded… Goed bezig! 👍
Love it came out amazing I don’t care about the rust part the car looks good. I hate when owners abandon their car due to rust spots. You can still make the car looks good and this is a perfect example…..Cheers
Can we just take a moment to appreciate how good this blokes English is getting
Sometimes things that may seem a little pointless, put everything in perspective and keep you inspired for the build. Awesome work!

1985 SAAB 900 was the best car I ever owned.
Amazing clean up! It turned out quite good! (if we do not look to the rusty spots :P) Good luck on the mechanical part!
EXCELENT music as always! So f***ng satisfying to see the process.
Its always so satisfying to see someone clean and make an old neglected car look new again.
The „nothing to see here “ batch made me laughing soooo loud dude 😅😅
As always : greatest respect for the work you’ve done ! The result is impressive !! ❤️❤️❤️
Yeah # Nothing to see here had me creased up with laughter too 😂
@@1881Gordon while watching the vids you have to listen really good for not missing all the little jokes😅 and every time I watch them, I’m totally impressed by his English skills …I would hardly speak that fluent in front of a audience 🙂
I think cleaning the car is motivating. It give a good idea why you are doing all the work.
This project earned you a sub. Next up a 9-5 hopefully 😎
You are a Belgian legend, Sir! God bless you!
I'm about to buy my first car, a Saab 900 classic for myself
thank you for doing these video, it gives very clear view of how to maintain a car or inspect them, it helps a lot!!
I drive a 9000, quite want a 900 but it is very hard to find where I live. This is great restoration, I hope to see more of it. :)
Hands down, I think my favorite tool I own is my shampoo machine. Changed my life ! No more dusty smell inside the car in summer or cat vomit on the bedroom carpet 🤣
Beautiful job buddy! I can’t wait to see more of the progression with this classic!
17:50 "NOTHING TO SEE HERE" 😂
Young man awesome job...congrats to you. We both have the same methods, idealogy, principle & policy in working methods....you are just like my son & workig methods too.
Awesome to see your working methods...no short cuts but with positive success always.
Perfect car to polish your skills! Can’t mess up a car that is messed up to begin with. Great outcome!
I can smell how fresh the interior looks through the screen. Great job.

Well done! Not unnecessary to polish the car, it deserves a good polish from someone that really cares about it :)
I'm frensh and i love your work good job ! 😃

Dang! Turning rusty relic into diamond.. nice transformation!
I simply love you for doing this and giving so much love to the 900 ❤️👏🏼
Nicely done. Eagerly awaiting the mechanical restoration of this Swedish classic.
Fantastic work!!!!!! Love the old 900s

Omg! I miss my saab!
Such wonderfull cars!
great video as always and you are one of the best car youtubers in the world
The Saab looks great! Can't wait for the next video when you try to get the car running and driving.

Hot tip - I use ‘plumbers putty’ instead of clay. It does the same job for much much less. A tub of Selleys Special Putty is $5 and does 3 to 4 cars.
Looking much better. Good for the motivation.
Great job!!! Very interesting!!!
Heck yah. Give that poor 900 some love! Also careful with the brake res cap and pressure washer. I got water into my system that way.
What a good cleaning could do. The Saab already looks great (besides the brown stuff).
WOW... This brings me back....

Great job. The BMW wheel cover also is a nice touch...
What an incredible difference! This is a great project. Nice one.
What a huge before and after! VERY NICE 😉
Fantastic job my friend, great to see the younger generation keeping the Saab dream alive 😍
Always happy when you upload man!
Polishing went great and it looks awesome
As always a pleasure to watch, Mr Memphis
Perfect, I’m glad you checked under the back bench, never know what hides there, and it’s cool to learn to polish on a classic like this too
Ur face when Lifting up the passenger seat, awesome haha!
Cleaning it up gives motivation to continue. Looks great!
Love your channel. The Saab looks much much better.Keep up the great work.
Perfect 👍 is unbelievable I hope that the car is running again
One of the best rustfixes i have ever seen 😂 great video as always!
I've watched a few of your videos now and I gotta say I love your channel. It's quality and highly relatable. Keep it up 👌🏻
Wow. It looks like a different car. Great work!
Can't wait for this project to be completed!

Good buy, my dad had one of these, broke down alot but we sure loved it, very cool car
That looks so much better you have managed to get the paint up or shiny I didn't think it would come back up again look forward to seeing the rest what you do to it
That was incredibly satisfying!

Amazing job. Crazy how sitting cars can look when someone knows what there doing. My first two cars where an 82 n 91 900 turbo. Now I'm 40 looking for my 3rd 24 yrs later.

Amazing work, i like how your vids are evolving. Hey, make a poll for naming the Car. I think Hugo is a good fit 😊
Whoop love the end result Mr memphis if you own a steamer try that on interior 👍can't wait for more videos
I love the fact that you cleaned the car before you started working on the engine. Nice touch with the BMW wheel trim
The polish was good practice for when you do a car you actually care about!
good job on the Cleanup. Labor of love.
Waiting for the next one.
It's amazing how durable some old paint can be .it came out great !
Looking forward to you getting this old girl back on the road .
I've always had a soft spot for these cars
Wow nice work! Thanks for saving him!
😍😍😍😍😍 can't wait for part 2, 900 are the best of the best, I have 93 from year 2000 and It has similar figures. It's pain in the a** when you need to look for parts ,but It's totally worth it ❤️🔥 Thanks for this nice videos, you did great job on it 💯❤️
Well done mate!
Congrats for such an exclusive car. Looking forward to seeing tou bringing it back to the road!

Good luck with your really cool old school car. Love it.
Satisfying clean! Well done! Looking forward to seeing how this turns out.
Great detailing video for sure ! Loved it 👍👏🏻👏🏻😀
Very good job Memphis !! Will wait for your next Saab viedo 👍😎 keep up the good work !
Looks great! Seeing it now gives me more hope for this car.
Nice! Looking forward to the mechanical video.
Memphis, this video was really satisfying to watch, especially the paintwork renovation. Great job. Looking forward to watching this series.

You are inspiring me to polish my E28.
It should get a respray in the future, but I first want to tackle the mechanical bits.

And I am certainly gonna try out the polytrol, as my black plastic bita have all faded…
Goed bezig! 👍
18:20 i was expecting covers but not these, totally caught me off guard haha
Good job saving another swedish gem. Would love to see how this thing turns out!
Good job!! It looks better. Congratulations!!
love to see a clean Saab in good shape! can't believe you had hit 100k! congrats!
Look at that beauty! I hope you can also obtain the papers to put it back on the road. Until then, a lot of work for you, a lot of enjoyment for us.
Well done that man that is amazing love this channel you sir are a credit to the automotive enthusiasts
Love it came out amazing I don’t care about the rust part the car looks good. I hate when owners abandon their car due to rust spots. You can still make the car looks good and this is a perfect example…..Cheers
Mooi werk man - amazing to see this and I really like this old Saab. I used to drive Saabs and this brings back some good memories.
