Now I've done it......Went out and grabbed a SAAB for short cash....
My driveway looks like I'll adopt any orphan....
Who put the motor in backwards??
I like my girl friends ornery.....
On the fence as to whether I complete the LR rust repairs or just
cut lose for basically what 5 tires cost.........ugg.

Only cuzz it would be worth 200 dollars more than the 5 tires.......
Long short list of LR that do not sell up here......No LR D1's....mostly 2's.....
Return your empties money......unsure if it's worth the effort....
This damn SAAB......never saw a winter, but it hasn't seen a vacuum since at least 2010......and it's
a 92.......WTH?

Went with Overland springs I picked at the bone yard, raised it 1.25”. I can finally slide under it on a creeper. I’ll be grabbing Ruby wheels soon so it’ll be higher by another 1” with 245’s. Changed out all fluids cept brake. Just putzing around cuz I have the time.

Owned by the dark side and two orphans in the hole. If you weren’t half a planet away I’d take it just on the great Detours provenance alone, then I’d sell the tires.

Sweet. A real pre-GM SAAB. I've got a red 1989 900 T Convertible with 220K - I need to replace the clutch slave to get it back on the road for summer. Just dragging my feet with so many other projects at the moment.

Cool.
Is that a big deal?
It might be in my future as reverse can be hard to find.
Whats the best online source for info out there? I guess I'm asking about forums....
Just returned from NC where yet another vehicle fell in my lap, stopped in NJ where I just learned
of a 1 owner full size Bronco just became available for short money......Unfortunately it just wasn't
the same vehicle I stared at & admired 3 years ago, he hasn't driven it since then, parked under
pine trees & wet soil......it was a sorry sight I quickly passed on.....I'm surprised he let it go like that.
