Not really rally related but Saab content and "roll cage engineering" (I use both of these terms loosely) included.

Matt those are Opel Vectras. or at best "alleged 900s"

Those fucking things struts have a knuckle similar to Xratty but the tube is FIXED in the knuckle. No pinch. pressed and welded. assholes..And my memory is unlike real Saabs which has forgings for the knuckles/uprightsd, these Opels have cast iron, can't weld on them.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr..Saab my ass.

I had one for a bit. I enjoyed it and it had plenty of Saab character but it's not a proper 900.

I wanted to share the engineering genius.

"Wont last long!!!"

Yeah, right.
