:P I love the music! it fits perfectly with the car :o

Where are you from? Not from the states (your steering wheel is on the left side) or the UK I think? Where did you find this car?

Why destroy a nice old saab?

you realize your country (sweden) plans to be completely off oil in a decade? my country goes to war over oil and i'm not cool with that. this car has a brighter future as an electric. the engine was dead, the wire harness was melted, etc, etc... this car has delighted people in my area because no one under 40 has ever seen one. i think that's better than rotting away dead. and the conversion is reversible if it turns out oil is clean, infinite and smog doesn't cause asthma and cancers.

Ah, I just realised I've seen this car before and it's complete! How'd it turn out? Anything you'd like to do differently next time?

hey gav! gotta say everything electric worked precisely as predicted. i leaned heavily on the experience of EVAmerica and they were great! i love driving electric! just broke 1000 EV miles. 60 miles range and up to 60 mph. wouldn't change much... excited to convert a more modern car just to compare the experience. thanks for your input along the way!
