Yea only up the road from you mate.
Started taking bumpstrips off tonight as I've provisionally sold them. I was going to take them off anyway for the phase 1 look
Used an aerosol bond breaker and they came off ok
only did the rear quarters for now as I'm hoping to pick up a set of white doors and wings at the weekend.
These ones on it are ok for spares but there's a couple of small dents in the doors and one wing is a bit tatty.
Plus the ones I'm hopefully getting have original phase 1 clips on them

I'm after a White passenger door for mine if you ever decide to sell mate
I'll let you know
Had some parts off this. Note the mk3oc sticker...
managed to get the bootlid and sideskirts a few weeks back, went back for the doors and a steering wheel boss. Unfortunately the wings weren't very good so I left them. My mate will be going back for the dash for his merit soon.
The bloke who owns it isn't a member of the club but left the stickers on from a previous owner. He tells me when he's got his saab engine out the bare shell will be going for scrap.
I said it's a shame to waste a genuine gsi shell. Its salvageable in my opinion. (Needs new rear arches and fuel filler panel)
he gave me his permission to put it up on here as a bare shell with logbook.
Anyone fancies saving it from the crusher just give me a shout and I can put you in touch.

Lad called Dean?
Didn't ask his name. He's in stoke area
I'd say it's Dean. Looks like his yard. You local to Stoke?
It's about 45 mins away from me. He's got another mk3 there he's building with a saab engine. Seemed to know his stuff about the saab gear. He said hydraulic saab boxes can be converted to cable somehow.
Yeh he's not a bad lad. Im only 10mins away from him, give us a shout if you're around again, I'll bang kettle on
Cool will do
That's the car my front bumper came off
He said someone from my way had it. I was after it as a spare but got there too late! At least it's gone to a good home!
Track rod end was stuck in the leg, tried everything to get it off. Ended up cutting it off as it was useless anyway
So, thought I would press it out with the vice and a socket........
Snapped the vice clean in half. And still have the track rod end stuck in the leg!
Good job I've got some spare legs. Shame I haven't got a spare vice.

Wow. That doesn't want to move lol they are bad but never usually that bad
Never had a problem with them before now. I'm gutted about the vice though.
Never seen that, jesus!
Stripped a leg down and found it has the original bilstein pink shocks
these have done 90,000 miles but still feel ok. I'll use them again on the rebuild as the ones I have are cheaper TA technix jobbies. Although they've only done about 500 miles, these ones feel firmer.
Just out of interest and for future reference; Is there anywhere people know of that rebuild/renew these bilsteins?
