    Can you walk us through your process for addressing the rust? I'd like to take this kind of preventative maintenance on some of the underbody/wheel-wells/rocker panels.

      talk to your local paintshop and they can show you the real 2-component products you need to do it properly.

    Amazing job! I have a 2002 9-5 Aero Estate aswell. Really inspiring seeing the work you did to yours, I really hope I would be able to do the same thing to mine one day. Can I ask you what you did to all of the body panels on the inside? Like, what was that shiny stuff that you put on the inside of the doors, the trunk, etc.? Is it some kind of insulation?

    What parts did you need for the facelift in the back? Bumper, lamps, nuberplate frame and thats it? I can see you modified the SPA connector, but what about lamp connectors?

    Hej Tobbe. Fantastiskt arbete måste jag säga. Jag tänkte själv på att byta front på min m00 till m02 front och strålkastare etc. Hur pass "bolt on " är den nya fronten på den gamla ?

    • @tobetinkering
      @tobetinkering  7 лет назад

      Tack :-) Om du kollar mina andra videos så har jag någon som visar hur jag hänger på den nya fronten. Allt är ju relativt, jag tyckte det var enkelt men inte säkert du tycker det. Lite trickigt att få lamporna att peka rätt men Bilprovningen har godkänt så då är allt ok

    • @NusultanTuljakbaj
      @NusultanTuljakbaj 7 лет назад

      tack så mycket för svar . syftet med faceliften för min del är just strålkastarna . jag skulle vilja ha klarglas med projektorer för halogen. Kanske bättre att hoppa över det om besiktningen bråkar om sånt. Jag har projektorer med xenon i min saab nu fast med vanliga glas och det ger en dålig och svag ljusbild så frågan är om det är bättre att låta dem vara och köra med ett vanligt xenon kit bara.

    • @tobetinkering
      @tobetinkering  7 лет назад

      Nu kommer jag inte ihåg exakt vad som är vad men jag valde att gå med vanliga (Halogen) lampor för om jag installerat det där andra som är OEM från SAAB hade jag varit tvungen att installera strålkastarspolare och "allt går" men där drog jag gränsen

    • @NusultanTuljakbaj
      @NusultanTuljakbaj 7 лет назад

      ok , då kanske det är bättre att låta bli hahahah . Helt omöjligt att modda om till klarglas. Undrar om man inte ska kontakta någon glasmästare eller gjuta egna glas i plast på något sätt?

    • @tobetinkering
      @tobetinkering  6 лет назад

      Nop, you need the front lights also to make it look right. It might be physically possible to change just the bumper but it will not look correct even if its probably close. (Didnt check when I did it)
