User Error posted:I always thought old Saabs were designed by people who had heard of cars but never actually seen one up close and personal. Why why why is the motor backwards? Why is everything else the way it is? Also the motor is half a v8, but the half came before the v8.

I love this car and this thread. 99 Turbo is way up on my list to own.

I just love it when I get to remove parts I just finished installing.

MrOnBicycle posted:Those wheels are epic even if I generally don't like black wheels. But these have a cool rear end "texture". What bolt pattern are those? Incas are 4x114.3, same as my Honda wagon. I've been thinkin' about putting these Swedish shoes it for some time. Here's a thought I came up with to accent the Incas, not sure about it. I stole the color from the stripe but I think they look too busy this way.

That looks pretty fantastic. If I do them on my wagon they’ll be powdercoated white to match the body. But I’ve always thought if you did a high contrast job around the steps in the right way, then from high angles and at speed they’d act a bit like a lenticular painting.

Despite their chunky appearance Incas are terribly soft. I'd look to get them trued instead of purchasing another example given the likelyhood of finding another ovoid example.

This is what I did with my IHC saddelbag tank: 1: Fill with water and lye, leave out in hot sun a day. 2: Electrolysis; I used a 12v battery, a battery charger to keep it topped up, some jumper cables, and coat hangers as the anode. The tank itself is the cathode. Watch out for hydrogen gas and sparks.

Some things are worth buying. My tank adventure took weeks and resulted in a very nasty infection when I cut my hand. Also I ignited some of the hydrogen gas that had collected inside the tank once; That sent hot nasty rust water shooting out the pump hole like a geyser. I had the time to take because the IH had another saddlebag tank that I could run the truck on.

I shopped mine around to a few old-school radiator shops but they were all like “lol, nope” after I told them I was only able to get 9 gallons out of it from full. So much sludge. Also the length was a problem for a lot of shops that otherwise would have boiled it.
