You have no idea how happy it makes me to see this. As a saab owner and mechanic. I see far too many Saabs going the way of your convertible when you first got it. And then they sadly meet the fate of the crusher. It fills me with joy Did see a Saab get restored like this. God bless. Long live SAAB.
Thank you so much, awesome to hear 👍 and yes, long live Saab!
W😊hat is the size of them .?
17 ‘? or bigger
19" bbs
A SAAB deserves this 👍
Your smile at 8:20 says it all...😊
The people who restore cars when their values are at rock bottom do so with their hearts and minds in perfect harmony.
I just bought a 1999 automatic convertible 9-3 with just 70,700 miles on the clock and full Saab dealership service history. Two owners before me. The last from 2003 only did about 2000 miles per year, but had everything serviced every year. Over the past 12 months alone they spent £2,500 on essential work.
The only negatives are some scuffs on the bumpers, one small dint in the passenger side door, some algae on the (optional blue) fabric roof, curbed alloys which really need sorting, and four new Chinese tyres!
It cost me £650! Many, with more issues and higher mileages are selling for between £400 and £550 here in the UK. I reasoned that the service history and low mileage made this a good deal.
Thank you for sharing your 9-3. These cars, like their owners, and in a class of their own.
Peace
You are correct, alot of dedication to get them fresh again 🙏 keep up the work on your Saab 👍
The smile in your face when you are driving says it all. Crongrats!
You done some incredible work on that saab looks amazing enough to put a cheeky smile on your face 👍😎💪
Nice. Watching your work and love for SAAB always a pleasure😎👍🏻🏴
Thanks ;)
i imagine you would cry if you saw my 95 !
The old girl has 650k km and has rust as the main color , but still drives .
Kind of sad i got her when the amount of rust was already too much to deal with it without spending a fortune !
still for 6 years already it has been a reliable car .
Post a video of that 95 i want to see it hahaha
Definitely a labor of love, congrats on ressurrecting your Saab👍
Your smile at the end said that all Mate.
Pure joy!! Great work. Midnight blue is a spectacular Saab color.
Thank you 🙏
I have a 2000 9-3 viggen and it is awesome. Always love seeing these around
Beautiful saab looks very good
Thanks SAABY Life 👍
I have a 93 convertible 2007. Great job 😍
I want those alloys😄 Great job love the look well done Jonas👍
Thank you very much! 👍
When I was into SAAB, I lusted after the Nail wheels you had on the car originally. Never seen them in the US at all! Love your work and the SAAB's look great bro!!!
Thanks :)
I think it looked better all blue with cream interior. Mine is steel grey with cream upholstery which is an odd choice, but looks ok.
Fantastic work! All in yr OWN garage👌
Thanks!
Amazing work!
Adorable kid, gazing at the car.
🙏
Sounds awesome M8 🤤
Lovely 93 Saad used to service these 9th robs 900 glad. You're good well done. John Rooney St Anne's nroff Blackpool uk
Awesome, cheers 👍
Desperately want a Saab 9-3 like this one. Hope one day I can find the right one for me. As soon as I do you best believe it’s going Monte Carlo yellow.
Im selling this one right Now ;) Hope you Will find your monte carlo yellow, amazing colour.
Awesome! Wish I had your car knowledge. Jealous.
Witam jakiej marki założyłeś sprężyny i ile jest obniżenia 👍👍👍
Fantastic car!!!!
Thanks!
good video to watch because I just picked up a 2000 Viggen lightning blue that I will be restoring
Fantastyczna przemiana - gratulacje!!!
Pozdrawiam
Preferred the light interior, each to their own.
Me to 👍
Great job!
Wish i could put Saabs together like that
I had The same wish a couple of years ago, look at me Now 😉 you can do it 👍
👍✌️🙏 SAAB come back!
Snyggt ansiktslyft på hela bilen 😀
As a Saab owner of two 9-3 NG, very happy to see your TRANSFORMATION of the OG 9-3 ! Could you tell what kind of color dye you use for your upholstery / seats ? As I also want to change the color of mine
The color dye is bought from a store that sells furniture restoration products. It looks cool but you Will get a more "plastic" feel to your seats
@@JonasKakarikas Thanks for your info ! Do you mean this furniture dye would be kind of " sticky " after dried ??
No not sticky at all, more like Hard to the touch. Not soft as leather
all You need is $$$ and time will find itself :) great job Jonas - cabrio is a Beast :)
Thanks Maciej!
Great! Keep up the good work!
Nice sound
What did you use to restore the roof? The canvas looks like new !!!
Just carshampoo and a mediumsoft brush and stroke in The direction of The fibers 👍
Grymt jobb Jonas 👌🏼
🙏
Vilken skillnad ett par schyssta fälgar och en polering gör.. Vanligtvis är jag inte speciellt förtjust i cabbar men jag måste erkänna att 900/9-3 funkar riktigt bra som cab. En annan bil som jag tycker funkar som cab är BMW E36.
Sänkning och fälgar gör jäkligt mycket på vilken bil som helst 👍
Saab ♥️
Very nice!
Built in Finland 💪
bellissima Jonas :))))) e tutto questo lavoro tu solo sei grande :))))
🙏🙏🙏
Hello Jonas. Wouldn't it have been enough to just change the feathers so that he lies lower?
Yes it would if lowering is what you want. This upgrade gives handling and performance
Big investment, but very, very nice!! This is my goal as well
Looks great!!
You ruined the suspension. Transformation into a harsh-riding car you can't drive fast. Awesome.
🤣🤣🤣
What do you suggest I do for my automatic? Would this work? I know automatics can’t take much power. I just want it to sound nice
Catback exhaust and a stage 1 tune would be enough 👍
What did you use for seats?? What’s it called? Have the same Saab just automatic. I want it to look this spiffy!!
Furniture colour 👍
what size rims and tires do you have on it??? I have a 2002 saab 9-3 and im looking to get rims
19x8,5 235/35
I like the wheels , any chance to let me know what is the model and where did you buy them.?
Bought them used, not easy to find now
hi Jonas, I have a 93 V6 07 convertible , looking at your video how did you get the roof on your 93 to look so beautiful. Keep the great work up, the videos super. Nigel
Just washed it with carshampoo and a mediumsoft brush. No other chemicals yet, will do some type of fabric sealant this winter 👍
Jonas, great video. I'm really enjoying the channel. Have you ever used a 19t turbo? Is it better or worse than 15t for daily driving an automatic?
Thanks Charles, The original Mitsubishi 15t is The best for Daily drivning. You could easy push 315hp /420nm on e85 with that turbo and with The automatic gearbox i wouldnt suggest to go Higher, with a 19t you could probably get 380-400hp on e85 but Its not healthy for The auto
jonas.....sundayrelax
Blev helt fantastiskt! Men var hittar man en aerokit till dessa? Jag hittar inget någonstans.
Tack, inte jättelätt men dyker upp på fb köp/sälj grupper med jämna mellanrum
Nice
I got one looks pretty much just like this it’s just been sitting in the garage but the end results in this video makes me feel ashamed letting it sit like that. I wonder what the budget has to be for something like this.
I spent around 6000 euro on this car
Grymt imponerad över den tid och energi du lägger ner på bilarna!. Resultatet ser skitbra ut :)
Vad för produkter använder du vid polering osv btw? :)
Jag kör lite olika, rupes och meguiars är det som gått mest 👍
@@JonasKakarikas ah nice. min 9-5a skulle behöva en ordentlig omgång så ska testa me de :)
Gör det 😉 vilket som funkar bra
Nice work, BBS really do suit these Aeros so well. What exhaust have you used? gorgeous tone.
It's a Maptun 2,5" catback with deleted rear muffler :) Thanks!
Hi what paint you use for seats leather? Looks wery good
Same color as they use to refurbish leather seats and furniture 👍
Nice.
What did you use to recolour the interior?
Skincolour kit from a furniture specialist 👍
no wonder ur satisfied m8 :)
you still got the car? curious if you’ve done anything more to it
No, i sold it when i was done with it 👍
I have a 1999 Saab 93 turbo convertible w 150k miles.. Still runs well. Love what you did to the car. Looks great. What product did you use to clean the engine? and Products to wax the car? I live in the US so won't be able to understand the other sites you posted on the thread.
Awesome 👍 to clean The engine i just use a degreaser and a plastic restore product to make it black again. Soft99 is The wax that im using 👍
@@JonasKakarikas I just been looking through all your videos, great stuff.. makes me want to restore some things on my car. thanks for what you do. I subscribed to your channel.
great!
Så jävla grymt jobbat!
Underbart, tack!
Hello
What color you use for the leather seats?
thx and cheers ✌️
Hi, leather colour that is used to colour couches furniture etc
@JonasKakarikas Hello. Does that colour wear off with time?
I have never done long time testing so I don't know
Grymt jobbat
what all did you put into this ? could you list it in the description
I cant remember, almost everything that is changeable 🤣
@@JonasKakarikas lol i’m getting dis for my first car is why i’m asking but shit looked super clean man
Vad kör du för bredd och et på fälgarna samt tum?
19" 8,5j et38
Skulle du kunna göra en video på hur man monterar en Bredbandslambda på en saab 9-3og aero? Innovate MTX-L
Har ev material från när ja monterade på min og9-5, vet dock inte hur detaljerat. Men är inget svårt direkt, bara svetsa en anslutning ca 30cm från turbon och koppla ström till mätaren.
@@JonasKakarikas tack för svar! Hade varit kul att se
Holy shit 🔥
Wow I'm impressed, really good job Jonas ! I own a 9.3 aero and i was thinking to put carbon fiber also to "rebuilt" the bumpers, and look nicer. How did you glue it on the bumper? did you use resin for polyester ? thanks
Epoxi resin, there is a longer video on my channel how i did it 👍
@@JonasKakarikas ah thanks a lot, I never searched well ! I will watch that now
Hey, which lowering springs did you use ? With bilstein shocks, right ?
Bilstein shocks and h&r lowering springs 👍
@@JonasKakarikas Thanks a lot !
Looks really good, that's why I'm asking 😉
What size are the rims and what is the program you installed in it
19", GDMperformance stage 1
I have a 1995 Saab 900S do you think it could be tuned?
I bet its fairly easy The fit a turbo from a newer model and have a tune for it 👍
You guy have so much to do,hehehe!
Helt otroligt vilken skillnad! En liten fråga bara var har den tidigare rullat i och med att den är importerad?
Danmark, välservad med kvitton från verkstäder. Men ingen putsnörd som haft den innan 🤣
@@JonasKakarikas vilken tur att den kom i rätt händer då 😉👍
👍
My Saab has a leak cant find it. Very nice car
Var köpte du fram och bak Aero-spoilern?
Blocket
@@JonasKakarikas Saablar!
it is 5x110 with hub center BBS Rims? where did you get it? thanks!
No, the rims are 5/108. BBS CK 007. Bought them used from a guy in Stockholm
@@JonasKakarikas thank you!
Hey, is there any chanse that u can help me with some informations, i have 9-3 2001 in hah bad condition, i bouth it before 2m, and i also have 9-3 but totaly wracked outside, and now i wanna combine those two in one and make it special ,just need some help, making it for my father, hi is just a child inside that old head 😂
What information do you need?
@@JonasKakarikas look, in this new is 2.0 without turbo, 136hp, but in old one i got 2.0t 150hp, now i wanna put this turbo engine in "new saab", what i need to change, i know computer, but what else, and is it even posible
It possible, might have to move The electrical harness as well as modify The vin and immobilizer on The ecu. In sweden you have to register The car with The new engine, i dont know what rules you have were you live... But The swap is possible
@@JonasKakarikas thanks a lot, now i just need to collect some more money and make my bby fly, i hope i will be able to send you finished pictures till next summer
@@JonasKakarikas one more fast question sorry, is there any way to open roof manual?
Snyggt! Hur står sig biltemas vinylspray på dörrsidorna? Eller vilken det nu var du använde :)
Yes, biltema. Den sitter kvar :) dock harju tröttnat på glansen så kommer nog göra om dom i vinter.
@@JonasKakarikas Okej nice ju! Du har inte fått lite missfärgningar av armen när du har den på dörrsidan och armsvetten "käkar" eller det märks inte? Funderar på att prova på mina men tyckte faktiskt också dina hade väldigt hög glans, vill ha det lite mattare typ :)
@@Emiroj nej ingen färg som lossnat eller färgat av och då blir den ändå jäääkligt varm när det är nercabbat och solen ligger på. Ska försöka hitta någon annan lösning av matt 2k klarlack.
@@JonasKakarikas aha okej det låter ju bra!
Hagmans mattsvart + spraymax matt 2k klarlack kanske hade funkat? Givetvis med rätt primer osv
What air intake did you put
Do88
Förjävla bra =)
what about the roof ?
?
Work 😤😤😤😤
Köpte du den i falkenberg?
Stämmer bra
@@JonasKakarikas haha nice
Tog du bort mittendämparen bara och sportavgas?
2,5" catback utan slutdämpare, mittendämparen är kvar 👍 till vintern blir det 3" downpipe så då lär det bli lite bättre ljud 😉
@@JonasKakarikas Låter bra! Funderar på om jag skulle få lite mer muller på min om jag plocka mittendämparen och har kvar resten. Kör catback från simons 2.5tums.Vill ha mer dovt bara
What did you use to restore the seats?
Or what was the black color called?😄

Körde du Rubbing o sen fusso coat? :)
