My 480 resurrection

I bought my 480 about 2 years ago on a whim as I fancied one for ages and a celebration came up near me, but then just parked it in a neighbors garden for two years. Now the neighbors are moving and I'm forced into reviving the old girl and gettin her back on the road. So "vanda van der vaart" (=my 480) got some jump leads on her, and drove under own steam out of the garden (after new wheels had been fitted etc...)
pics to follow.
So do I have to dump the Saab 9-3 daily driver soon? :rofl:

Good luck with the project! It sounds like you will have your work cut out :D

Do post some pictures of your progress - it is always good to see before and after :hopping:

Did the resuurection take place after all? If so, how is it going? If not, what do you need to do next to get going? Did you get any pics?

Mine is nearing the point where she can go back on the road :hopping: - welding being done today, cam-belt next week and new tyres all round in early August, followed by MOT and boom!

Cheers!
