Well it's now official! My '99 9-3 is all comfy in her new garage. I have had her home for only about 3 hours and so far I've hand washed her, clayed her, cut the hood, removed a damaged right side fender and replaced it with a new one. I will continue to detail her tonight then tomorrow possibly repair, prep and paint the front and rear bumper covers.

BTW - Any SaaB meet and greets on Long Island?

 

You sound like someone who's skilled at paint and detail...

Congrats on finally bringing her home.

 

Yeah, I am very maticulous with my cars so I've learned to do things myself (I also own my own automotive detail and design company on LI). I take pride in my wok and enjoy doing it! I can't wait to do the bumper covers and then start modding!!

 

Hmmm...you're going to make custom bumper covers? I'm curious to see how they turn out...if they look good you might as well make molds and I'll be first in line. Do you do paint/body work?

 

First I will be just repairing and repainting the bumper covers. Then when time permits I will be attempting to customize a new style.

 

Post some before and after pics...

 

will do ....
