yes, I have nervous butterflies thinking about anything that could go wrong with the "first time starting up". Seen many YouTube videos of proud owners firing up their restored classic only for a loose fuel hose to spray fuel everywhere and you have Classic Flambé.

UK Sub - sounds like a typical Granada owner to me!!

I'll dig out an image of my SAAB in the first year I owned it (1989), some muppet pulled out in front of me and rearranged the front end, luckily we had a sympathetic Assessor who was a classic fan and we were able to rebuild it (probably wouldn't happen today, too quick to write everything off!)

as promised the 96 looking a little worse for wear in 1990 (Montego driver pulled out in front of me from a side junction and then just stopped)



Off topic for the V4, but the last 900 T16S I owned met a similar fate, wheels up in a ditch, walked away with just a bump on my head, testament to SAAB's build strength! (I loved that car!!)

Also started playing with front panel fittings

headliner finally back from a friend who's handy with a sewing machine!

just need the weather to warm up a bit and I can get out to the garage and get all these new bits fitted (-41ºC with the wind chill here!!!)
