What a job you done Jonas! You built the ultimate SAAB!!!

[@JonasKakarikas]

Thank you 🙏

[@DerbJd]

A brilliant restoration. I sure know the feeling as I had my 93 Vetor TiD Wagon restored and get a bodyshop to keep on top of everything for me. And a big shout out to Fraser and Ray Bagnall at Bagnall Saab in Birmingham UK for doing all the mechanical work too. No one else touches the car, but them.

[@hoppysport2872]

A magnificent job! As the owner of a 2008 SAAB 9-5, I'm over the top in love with the body style of the NG 9-5, and the interior styling. I wanted to buy a used one a few years back, but was deterred by parts availability and issues. That said, I actually went to a dealership with the intention to purchase an NG 2011 9-5 with an extended 10-year. 125,000 mile GM warranty for an additional $2,700. And it even had those beautiful 95 turbine wheels. What ultimately deterred me was driveability. I felt detached from the road. It was like sitting in a low-slung bucket. The 1999-2009 9-5 has an exceptional driving position, and fish bowl visibility. I actually felt claustrophobic inside. I'm still drawn to the NG 9-5, with what I believe is one of the most stunning exterior/interior designs ever produced. Your example is magnificent.

[@JonasKakarikas]

Ng9-5 is an amazing car, to bad about the down sides that you mention... But the looks is to die for 🙏

[@rapu4]

God I had the exact same experience with the NG 9-5, it just feels terrible to drive in comparison to the OG 9-5's. I'd still love a 2011 9-5 with the 2.8 and XWD, but the NG 9-5 I drove was terrible in comparison to my 06 2.0t, not to mention my built 98 2.3T.

[@JonasKakarikas]

You need to drive mine😂 the ng9-5 chassi is superior to all other Saab setups

[@hoppysport2872]

@@JonasKakarikas Jonas...my only issue with the NG 9-5 was that for me, it felt claustrophobic inside, with limited visibility. I loved everything else about the NG 9-5 during my drive.

[@JonasKakarikas]

Yeah the side Windows are a bit lower than other Saabs.

[@jeremyrigden9200]

Well done Jonas, the car looks wicked, I have a 2011 TTid 93 Aero in white great colour on Saabs, all the best from the UK.

[@lebryant1]

Hey my friend, I love the Contant that you put out for the Saab’s, but I do have a question. What is the offset of the BBS wheels Front and rear. I have been trying to find the perfect offset for my car, which is the same as yours but I have the aero And I think that you have the perfect offset set up

[@roninbutiu3556]

Great job. What did you switch out the front calipers with?

What coilovers are those? I have a TurboX and I'm looking for full suspension setup but I only see MapTun that is compatible with XWD and V6

[@JonasKakarikas]

D2 Coilovers, The car is a turbo4 though. But i think D2 makes coils for the V6 XWD as well 👌

[@EricNordenfors]

Riktigt fin Jonas, bara kvar att fixa lite mer effekt nu ;)

😎 Kommer eventuellt

[@MightierToaster]

What head unit did you replace the old green screen with? Plug and play or modification needed? Looks great btw

[@JonasKakarikas]

Witson px5 Android, plug n play. You just need to find a way to attach the screen to the panel 👍
