Tyler- You must have spent a ton on those parts. At least your old car will get lots of exposure on YT. I hope that Scion works out for you. A sincere Thank You for your service. You're a good man. God bless.
I like how you actually work on the cars you buy, in great detail. Some RUclips channels, (won’t mention names) don’t even know how to describe their broken parts let alone how to fix them. Faithful subscriber. Love watching JR go.
I wanna thank you for taking such good care for this Saab, all the Saab’s that are left should be taken care of! There beautiful cars, and build like rocks😍😍
I’m soooo pumped for this, taking something which hasn’t had time to be loved for ages and finally someone having time to love it and bring joy to someone genuinely makes me feel happy because this car is getting the love it deserves there’s not too many of these going anymore sadly and seeing this one be fixed up is truly amazing.
Proud owner of a 2006 9-5, also black. Mine has a galaxy of rock dings on the hood lol. ESaabParts is one of my fav distributors...and fortunately for me, we’re in the same state :). I’m loving this series, and thanks for taking us along!
The old Saab is going to look incredible when all shined up ,enjoy your channel its in my top favorite and i watch it all the time. Thanks JR for teaching an old dog some new tricks when it comes to fixing cars.
Heres a tip for the SAAB. You have hundreds of rock chips especially on the leading edge of the hood. Get black touch up paint and use a wood toothpick to drop a microdot of paint in each chip. This would ideally be done before polishing. Once done and polished the chips will disappear unless you're two feet away.
You need to keep those wheels forever, they're fantastic. Had an '03 9-5 Aero myself, absolutely loved it. Would still have it if it didn't get totaled in a flood a few years ago.
Yes the Saab is way cooler but I’m not digging the tracker lol. They’re absolutely EVERYWHERE here in Cali. It’s like seeing a Suzuki vitara they everywhere. And in trashy condition lol
Wow! What a difference! Had no clue those wheels looked like that from the previous videos. You're definitely going to end up keeping this one (hope this comment ages well :))
Just finished putting my 9-3 back together. Esaabparts is the best, $27 for overnight shipping, got my turbo oil return hose before new years, love them.
Every time that I would get new car fever, I would spend a few hours just cleaning the old one. New car fever goes away when you see what the old one can actually look like. Has saved me thousands of dollars over the years.
JR, I absolutely love watching you bring these old and neglected cars back to life. I’m telling you, that hood out in the sunlight looks amazing! Can’t wait until the next video!
One thing to note with ignition coil. The coil part, that is lower part of pack is filled with oil, to prevent overheating. If you turn coil pack upside down, let it sit 30min after installation, so the oil will drip back from the electronics of upper part. Or just dont turn it upside down.
Love the detailing videos - that thing is gonna look great! Think it’s gonna be a keeper! And you’re relentless dedication to new hood and trunk struts inspired me to replace all mine on my 335is lol.
I owned a couple of Saabs in the past and I loved saying 'Svenska Aeroplan Aktie Bolaget' for no reason at all. Such a shame the quirky brand is no longer.
Love this one JR!! It's like a Swiss army car! Wish you luck with it and can't wait to see it and the Suzuki when they are done!! (Kinda hope you keep the Saab)😁✌️
I am Definitely glad I subscribed to your channel JR. I would consider you up there in the entertainment value of videos with the other creators with 1/2 and even 1 million subscribers. (We know who they are) Thanks for sharing your experience with us and I look forward to the next video. Best wishes and Peace out!
My dad actually has a Saab. A 1995 Saab 900 Turbo Convertible (NG) which is in an almost perfect condition. He will soon repair the rust on the inside of the boot and then it will be just like new again. But, overall there is literally no rust on the outside. He actually also have had a Saab 9-3, Saab 9-5, my grandpa has had a Saab 9000. And that we have books about Saabs. The Saab book from 1987 about the planes and the cars, how to take care of a Saab 9-3 and a 900.
Love what you're doing- keep it up! The next stage of this process... I see some of those parts... I wish you well- for it is not an easy undertaking, but a rewarding one. I never saw the finish- but you may, and for that I wish you the best of luck and the least scraped knuckles possible.
Looking good! Seeing the hail damage just boggles my mind as you never see it or hear of it up here in the Pacific Northwest. We occasionally see hail but it’s never big enough to cause any type of damage.
I didn’t realise the alloys were chrome! The hood looks so much better too. Love this car so much - the rescued unusual stuff is so much more interesting tbh
JR, keep the Saab, it and the white Suzuki can be the ambassadors of your channel. Both of them are very unique cars, they didn't sell in huge numbers new and of course they no longer make any Saabs or Suzuki cars/trucks. You're handy with a wrench and have no problem sourcing parts, make these your two "drivers", maybe sell that Volt for a decent pickup truck, Suburban, something with some towing capacity.
Hey JR: Never film in a darker area looking into a brighter one...we can't see you! Highly recommend Dr ColorChip to make all those road chips disappear.
Are you planning on holding onto that saab? now that they are no longer on production (and with you changing all those parts) that car could be worth a few good coins in the future 🤷🏽♂️
Awesome video. I used to have one of those cars this makes me want to go find one again. But why did you run home for the parts rather than finish the polishing?
A quick tip: Always keep the spare Ignition Cassette in the car. Even if it’s not very prone to fail, it is one of the most common reasons people get stranded. And as you know, it’s super easy to replace.
Use the correct plugs, my Ignition module is original, plugs were last changed in 2006, i replaced them in 2019. Use high test gas, 98 RON or any other super unleaded (95-98 RON) 250.000km. Owned the car since 2006. 2001 model 9-5
Any tips for cleaning the spaces in the "landing gear" that seem to accumulate stuff from the brakes? I've heard that oven cleaner works, but do only one wheel at a time, and wash it off quickly?
I’m just super happy my old girl is getting so much needed attention. I thought it looked extra shiny last night!
Tyler- You must have spent a ton on those parts. At least your old car will get lots of exposure on YT. I hope that Scion works out for you. A sincere Thank You for your service. You're a good man. God bless.
Tyler stance the Scion lol no please don’t lol
I think it was only about $500 in parts. I’ve got to fix the front subframe on the scion and replace the sway bar someone sawed in half.
Stance the scion even lower than before.
It's so satisfying seeing you bring these cars back to their former glory.
As a Swedish with a big saab heart, it is extra fun to see when others start to like saab. Thanks for interesting episodes.
I like how you actually work on the cars you buy, in great detail. Some RUclips channels, (won’t mention names) don’t even know how to describe their broken parts let alone how to fix them.
Faithful subscriber. Love watching JR go.
david Hanesworth Come on. Mention names!
On a Saab it's not "washing the wheels" it's "inspecting the landing gear." 🧐
Hahaha, I need to make more business jet references 😂
Maintenance of the landing gear.
Airworthy certificate
Flight clearance
On a BMW its checking the propellers
I wanna thank you for taking such good care for this Saab, all the Saab’s that are left should be taken care of! There beautiful cars, and build like rocks😍😍
Awesome! I think it deserves a new trunk badge from your new friends at esaabparts
Already done (thanks to essabparts) video coming soon!! 💯

I admire these guys that have a real skill at making these old cars look good again. It's a true talent.
The SAAB might be one of my faves next to the tracker!! Ditch those Bimmers! keep the Saab
My goal one day is to only have Saabs.
Yes the Saab is way cooler but I’m not digging the tracker lol. They’re absolutely EVERYWHERE here in Cali. It’s like seeing a Suzuki vitara they everywhere. And in trashy condition lol
The Saab is probably my favourite of the JR fleet. The 5-series is cool too but the 3 is ten-a-penny. Sell that and the 7. I like the Suzukis a lot
@@805NAVE I live in Michigan and I probably only see a couple a year because they all rusted out years ago lol
@@quentinc1275 Northeast here! haven't seen one in years!!
Yes!!! I asked for this in the last aero vid. Idk if you had already planned this but either way, thanks! Great video!
I left it covered in dirt just for this! 🍻
That thing will be new when you're done. Very nice ride!
Dave is very knowledgeable and will make that Saab look incredible!
Wow! What a difference! Had no clue those wheels looked like that from the previous videos. You're definitely going to end up keeping this one (hope this comment ages well :))
Just finished putting my 9-3 back together. Esaabparts is the best, $27 for overnight shipping, got my turbo oil return hose before new years, love them.
So glad to see this beautiful car being saved
YES MORE SAAB VIDEOS!
These videos are turning into... a SAAB story.... YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
The Double-Y wheels are legendary, they ought to be saved!
Great video JR. we owned an 2008 95 wagon for 9 years. Hella quick.
Nothing brings a car back like a really good detail. Nice job, Dave!
Every time that I would get new car fever, I would spend a few hours just cleaning the old one. New car fever goes away when you see what the old one can actually look like. Has saved me thousands of dollars over the years.
I was curious if that paint would come back, but looks like it's going to and look awesome.
Hood is looking awesome! That guy knows what he’s doing.
JR, I absolutely love watching you bring these old and neglected cars back to life. I’m telling you, that hood out in the sunlight looks amazing! Can’t wait until the next video!

Maan showing love to that SAAB talking about a little TLC
Please never change, your enthusiasm is contagious. I can't wait for your next videos.
Dr. ColorChip for all those hood pits! Works like a charm!
its crazy what a good detail can do to the look of a car
Rupes has the best DA polishing system today! Not cheap but fast and they work.
It looks so much brighter!
Good looking machine, this is pure ASAABMR, thanks Detail Dave and JR'Wow'!👍
If I got to detail the Saab 9-5 Aero with Daves and Watch JR Goes I would pack up the Hash Pipe with Rocky and get all schmoked up.
SAAB and Husqvarna in the same video. I like it :)
Guaranteed to fall in love with this car. Permanent collection for sure
Looks like a fine Winter day in the land if Ahhhhs.
About time you got a real car to work on.
Matt at eSAABparts :) he's the guy. Glad you are a SAAB owner now too :) hope you'll like it.
He did a great job on the saab
I owned a couple of Saabs in the past and I loved saying 'Svenska Aeroplan Aktie Bolaget' for no reason at all. Such a shame the quirky brand is no longer.
Beautiful. Loving the Saab content 👌🏼
Glad to see this car get a detail. It is a shame the way some folks leave cars to the elements. Good job and well done!
Be sure to change out the CPS with a new OEM one for reliability sake if you don’t know the last time it was done. Super easy job!
Watching all his videos makes me wanna breathe new life back into my 01 zX2!
Hmm, no Green Lantern for the Saab..
... This one is a keeper :)
Great video, looking forward to seeing what's next.
Andrew Hillman definitely a keeper 👍🏼🇸🇪
Filmed in Andover, Kansas. Watched in Andover, UK.
Love this one JR!! It's like a Swiss army car! Wish you luck with it and can't wait to see it and the Suzuki when they are done!! (Kinda hope you keep the Saab)😁✌️

After seeing this it makes me wanna get a SAAB
As it should.
They're great cars, mostly.
You should
Cardboard Sliver One problem though, I am 14 and already have a near mint 99 Blazer. Just needs a motor which is surprisingly cheap
Get a Saab anyway, Swedish topless fun in the sun!
It’s therapeutic to watch this car get restored.
The "Aero" is missing an "e'.
Not anymore 😉 New factory badges!
Those letters fall off so easily. I had the same thing happen on my 2004 9-5 Aero.
since its black is an Oreo
@@elcabezon5487 nope from SWEDEN is a SAAB-bA
The paint not perfect but it's looking better. Way to go JR, you're my hero!
Just started watching and I no it’s gonna be sick!!!!
So excited about the turnaround, doing the whole car and interior on Tuesday 🔥
WatchJRGo can’t wait to see it all done I love these cars
That paint is sweet now!!😃💥
I really love your channel thanks for the wonderful content. I hope to be doing what you’re doing once I graduate high school.
Use a clay mit as well they pull a lot of dirt from clear coat and paint while washing. its like a pre clayed before being clayed.
The Saab is going to look and run like a million bucks when it's done. Hashtag tea time.

Hagerty has a good written article about new car paint, to have a better start.
Dude I bought an 08 SportCombi in black. Never garaged. I need to do this big time. It would clean up. I can tell. No fade just tons of oxy
You could try to fill in those rock chips and polish those headlights with a Mothers Headlight Restoration kit and it'd look brand new from the front.
Wooo a new video to enjoy on a Sunday afternoon in Australia😎👍
Chrome rims are sooooo good looking
Wow that hood really came back!
JR, keep the Saab, it and the white Suzuki can be the ambassadors of your channel. Both of them are very unique cars, they didn't sell in huge numbers new and of course they no longer make any Saabs or Suzuki cars/trucks. You're handy with a wrench and have no problem sourcing parts, make these your two "drivers", maybe sell that Volt for a decent pickup truck, Suburban, something with some towing capacity.
Woe to those with black paint, but it do certainly shine when in it's prime.
Woo hoo a Saab 9-5 🙌🏻
JR, you really need to trick this thing out!!
John ! Nice touch on the Saab 🚘🤘💯& I like all your vid's, but damn, want to hear the Roars of that Rrrr.8🔥🔥🔥 . Salute bro 🙌😎
I worked for the company who owns the patent of clay bars. Clay Magic! They make bars for many companies, but Clay Magic is the first!
Hey JR: Never film in a darker area looking into a brighter one...we can't see you! Highly recommend Dr ColorChip to make all those road chips disappear.
Detailing the SAAB passed in flying colors!
Who knew that Steve Jobs now helps detail cars!
Damn Saab 9-5 looking brighter than my future
Damit jr your content is too good I cant stop watching I'm mesmerized.
I always like before watching !! Great content from philly ✌🏽
Saab life love it
Are you planning on holding onto that saab? now that they are no longer on production (and with you changing all those parts) that car could be worth a few good coins in the future 🤷🏽♂️
Throw Chevy cobalt SS Brembos on that! I just did, it’s 400$ and looks fantastic. They use the same calipers
Awesome video. I used to have one of those cars this makes me want to go find one again. But why did you run home for the parts rather than finish the polishing?
People steal car parts....even in Kansas. That's why.
A quick tip: Always keep the spare Ignition Cassette in the car.
Even if it’s not very prone to fail, it is one of the most common reasons people get stranded. And as you know, it’s super easy to replace.
M Karlsson 3.7C or D should be fine.
Use the correct plugs, my Ignition module is original, plugs were last changed in 2006, i replaced them in 2019. Use high test gas, 98 RON or any other super unleaded (95-98 RON) 250.000km. Owned the car since 2006. 2001 model 9-5
Love the old school cars you have.
If nothing else, this is the most durable car in your fleet now. Taken care of will go over 250,000 easy.
This car is so cool to me. Idk why
Any tips for cleaning the spaces in the "landing gear" that seem to accumulate stuff from the brakes? I've heard that oven cleaner works, but do only one wheel at a time, and wash it off quickly?
scrubbing bubbles????????????
You need to get hold of an aero front lip as well!!!
awesome bro! great work! happy to see you moving forward to a better life! take care bro
Thanks for doing 144op and 4k video
Dude, you need to get that Mercedes from Randy from auto auction rebuilds. It has your name all over it.
Awesome!! I’m lovin’ this series!!
This really makes me want to take my black 98 Celica to get it detailed so I can make it shine like that Saab!
Amazing results 👍
