Saab seems to have prided themselves on increasingly bizarre fuel pump mounts. Was it the 9-3 where most people just cut through the floor under the seats rather than drop the gas tank?
I think that's a Euro-GM thing from that era, having top mount fuel pumps without an access panel to get at them. Been hosed by that on a Vauxhall.

Will he sell you the entire panel, then you can split and re-weld along the original seams?

I think i'd rather do one big weld right along the front than have to take off and weld on the whole roof skin. It should be easy enough to grind the weld down because access is easy to the top side.

There is a structural bar running behind the outer skin (which is still solid) so I can grind my outer skin off and plug weld the donor bit back on along the bottom edge
Yeah, that sounds like a sensible approach.

Yeah, the DVLA have always been really good when I've phoned them. Compared to the American tales of their DMVs, it's really quite remarkable.

I need to find out how to get the manufacturing date of the 924, as it's registered in Jan '82, so probably built in '81, but isn't registered quite early enough in January to be considered '81 by default.
