JEFF'S SPG
FROM TURBO TO SPG
This is the Saab 900 Turbo that I bought in 1996.
The SPG rims came with the car as an incentive for future upgrades.
The color of the car is malachite green.
It's a rather strange color. At night the color seems to turn to grey.
After four years of hard work and lots of money, this is what she looks like now.
Major repairs and upgrades include:

Jamex springs.
Bilstein Shocks
Group 6 : K & N Cone air filter.

This is my cockpit. Here you can see the extra gauges down in the center console and my beautiful momo club 4 steering wheel.
The gauges going from top left to right: Voltmeter; Oil Temp; Oil Pressure; Air/Fuel Mixture; Vacuum/Boost; Fuel Pressure.

Here is my new interior! I pulled out the tan and put in the black.
The front seats are recaro's and the rear seat is a skinned aero seat made to fit onto a C900 rear seat.
I didn't do the swapping so I don't have the details, but I do know that since the 9000 is a split rear seat design, some sewing is needed to combine the top halves together.
Of course with all of these modifications, I've had my share of run-ins with the law!
I've written stories on all the speeding tickets which have caused me to lose my license.
I've read them many times and continue to laugh at myself.
