I could watch this for hours and hours. Thank you!

Thanks for that! There will be a lot more content on this car coming soon!

I had a 1998 9-3 2 door hatchback. The only thing I didn’t like was that it didn’t have centre armrests, same as my convertible. I bought a set of centre armrests from Italy. Much better now.

I’ve been slowly tinkering with my 1991 900 SPG for the past 10 years to get everything working and the way I want it. My intermittent central locking problem was a bad ground. Cleaned it up and everything was good.

[@teamturner4300]

I suspect the same thing, or a loose connection somewhere. I'll have to dive back in and figure it out soon. These cars are worth the effort though

I have a beryl green 900 spa and it's one of 109 made in that color. I fixed it after it sat for about 13 years because of a bad slave cylinder that my uncle didn't want to deal with. It's an awesome car and I look forward to making it perfect. I have a question about interior parts. The switch housing for the headlights on my car rotates with the switch and I was wondering the best way to fix that.

[@teamturner4300]

Thats awesome! I love low production cars and the Beryl is definitely a special one. As for the headlight switch, they usually rotate because the tabs on the switch itself break off allowing the switch to spin. Replacement of the switch is really the only fix. Its the same switch for the 900, 9000, and I believe even the ng900, and og9-3. Junkyards are your friend or FCP. Best of luck with your project!
