1993 Saab 900i SE to TURBO conversion and rebuild
The client wanted a full turbo 3door ruby edition replica but with some personalised touches, and supplied a 900i 3door with very good bodyshell/chassis for a full mechanical conversion.
Leather seats with electric adjustment, leather door cards, re-trimmed headlining were required for the interior, cruise control, air conditioning for comfort. Short Shifter gear lever conversion was fitted, Full pressure turbo engine with turbo spec gearbox, turbo suspension with anti-roll bars, and for the exterior - ruby specification bumpers, but with extra wide wheel arch trims (as per the 1989 Turbo 8 anniversary edition), whale tail rear spoiler and 9000 spec directional Aero wheels.
The bodyshell, although in very solid condition, was given a full respray and complete comprehensive Waxoyl/Dinitrol anti rust treatment.
For this build we used a different bodyshop than our normal one (due to number of jobs being done at the time), I must say the results were easily as good!
Below are a selection od photographs taken throughout the build.
Build time: September / October 2009
