I'm not a Saab fan generally, but that is lovely! I've never seen one of those before.

Congratulations on saving it from the scrap man.

I wanted to add a little history to the passion - the Sonett was the model that first introduced me to cars with my dad's '74 Sonett that I grew up around. Some of my earliest memories were around this car and I was instantly hooked at a very young age. That particular car "Little Red" was wrecked more than once and didn't make it past the last wreck but it's always been a great inspiration and memory. It's also the only Sonett I have driven so I'm even more excited to get mine on the road finally one day hopefully soon...

I just hate it when theres a vehicle the exact same age as me, and it is in a better condition....

Thank you! Honestly it's been 20 years...bought it as a teenager, learning everything as I went. I mentioned before but it hit the back burner more times than I'd like to think about but I'm ready to get this project finished!

I've never had a garage where I've lived so it's always been stored somewhere I rent away from home which definitely hasn't helped either... but it's always easy to make excuses!

That's a very good question and is very hard to answer haha. My plan is to just keep moving forward with it and push hard until it's on the road!
