Amazing clean up! It turned out quite good! (if we do not look to the rusty spots :P) Good luck on the mechanical part!

[@hauke4651]

The „nothing to see here “ batch made me laughing soooo loud dude 😅😅 As always : greatest respect for the work you’ve done ! The result is impressive !! ❤️❤️❤️

[@1881Gordon]

Yeah # Nothing to see here had me creased up with laughter too 😂

[@hauke4651]

@@1881Gordon while watching the vids you have to listen really good for not missing all the little jokes😅 and every time I watch them, I’m totally impressed by his English skills …I would hardly speak that fluent in front of a audience 🙂

[@1993Revhead]

Can we just take a moment to appreciate how good this blokes English is getting

[@Heatsauce70506]

I think cleaning the car is motivating. It give a good idea why you are doing all the work.

[@LSniumUwU]

Its always so satisfying to see someone clean and make an old neglected car look new again.

[@natewilson1791]

Sometimes things that may seem a little pointless, put everything in perspective and keep you inspired for the build. Awesome work!

[@stickshift97]

17:50 "NOTHING TO SEE HERE" 😂

[@faschwank]

1985 SAAB 900 was the best car I ever owned.

[@brucehowe3477]

Perfect car to polish your skills! Can’t mess up a car that is messed up to begin with. Great outcome!

[@floflospeed24]

Hands down, I think my favorite tool I own is my shampoo machine. Changed my life ! No more dusty smell inside the car in summer or cat vomit on the bedroom carpet 🤣

[@sneaks01]

Beautiful job buddy! I can’t wait to see more of the progression with this classic!

[@AlexanderMichelson]

You are a Belgian legend, Sir! God bless you!

[@1881Gordon]

Fantastic video. Really enjoyable. That old swedish girl is already looking much better. The paint has held up quite well considering a decade on no love. Can't wait for the next episode. 😀

[@markstorer7204]

I'm loving the Saab content Memphis, I really hope you can resurrect it in a similar way you did with your e28......I'm actually jealous of your collection now....mk1 golf, BMW e28 Volvo 245 & now saab 900 16v( you van keep your other cars as they are to "new: for.my taste) 👍👍👍

[@marcusrenerostrupgundersen3779]

It’s a shame that Saab are notorious for rusting in the rear wheel arches. Saab is very close to my heart as it was the first car I had. And I went to the Saab museum in Sweden to really get an understanding. I can’t wait for this project. And I really really like your videos ❤️ Keep it up

[@BoostyMoose]

17:52 "Nothing to see here" XD cracked me up! Amazing job with the cleaning and I hope to see it back on the road in the end! Greatings from Sweden and a fellow saab fixing youtuber!XD

[@paulellis6924]

I like this channel. Its the most relatable in my opinion. Too many channels full of Lambo and ferrari content. This is full of classics of my childhood.keep up the good work 👏 👍

[@isecore]

Good to see you taking care of the old girl! I have a soft spot for those old wedge-shaped SAABs since I spent a lot of my childhood in various SAABs and especially several 900-variants. Thanks for the great vid!

[@vwfanatic2390]

This was a great purchase just because you got to practice paint correction by “polishing a turd”, it may just be “lipstick on a pig”, but it’s only a pig because of the rust. I was wrong, this is a cool project, that’s because you are making it a cool project. Once again you don’t disappoint.

[@Adrian2140]

I can smell how fresh the interior looks through the screen. Great job.

[@michaeltutty1540]

Fantastic job, Memphis. The looks cared for, and that is a really big start. I don't know what paint Saab and Volvo were using in the late 80s early 90s, but it is incredible. Some basic maintenance and it comes up as good as new. My 240DL Estate is the same as the Saab. A good clean and wax and it shines up beautifully. I can't wait to see what you will do with the Saab. I'm just very glad you are saving it.

[@jrx3361]

Hot tip - I use ‘plumbers putty’ instead of clay. It does the same job for much much less. A tub of Selleys Special Putty is $5 and does 3 to 4 cars.

[@itsandernow]

EXCELENT music as always! So f***ng satisfying to see the process.

[@jorgencaceres7945]

Well done! Not unnecessary to polish the car, it deserves a good polish from someone that really cares about it :)

[@Mirakov]

Nicely done! It might have been a little premature, but it was like saying "it's going to be alright" to the Saab. Maybe it believes in life again and even starts a little better. 😄

[@davejones538]

Whoop love the end result Mr memphis if you own a steamer try that on interior 👍can't wait for more videos

[@TheNismo777]

Dang! Turning rusty relic into diamond.. nice transformation!

[@ChishanFipz]

That's quite a rare beast - A 16v base model with no sunroof, steel wheels and wind-up windows. The ignition barrel will be the hardest part to replace but I replaced mine with an RFID tag starter mechanism

[@ajdinkotoric8432]

Ur face when Lifting up the passenger seat, awesome haha!

[@worawatli8952]

I drive a 9000, quite want a 900 but it is very hard to find where I live. This is great restoration, I hope to see more of it. :)

[@charlesmoore2485]

This is awesome seeing that car get some well deserved TLC

[@alexs8495]

Look at that beauty! I hope you can also obtain the papers to put it back on the road. Until then, a lot of work for you, a lot of enjoyment for us.

[@Judge_Edo]

Awesome work cleaning this up, starting to look like a real car again! At some point pull up the front carpet and check under the insulation pads and maybe rip them out. They're called floor rusters in the Saab world.

[@AlanStryman]

I'm about to buy my first car, a Saab 900 classic for myself thank you for doing these video, it gives very clear view of how to maintain a car or inspect them, it helps a lot!!

[@Casey.seeK.]

Love the car, eighties icon! The 3-door is the best body shape.

[@json8172]

Heck yah. Give that poor 900 some love! Also careful with the brake res cap and pressure washer. I got water into my system that way.

[@kubbarful]

Memphis, this video was really satisfying to watch, especially the paintwork renovation. Great job. Looking forward to watching this series.

[@kaiger099]

I simply love you for doing this and giving so much love to the 900 ❤️👏🏼

[@mrdragonou726]

I'm frensh and i love your work good job ! 😃

[@madern7]

The polish was good practice for when you do a car you actually care about!

[@EnthusiastCarHangar]

Hello to Belgium! Haven’t been there for a long time. The body rust is what would scare me away from this Saab. I am not that skilled.

[@carcrazyguysa4059]

Just something to point out for anyone cleaning an a old car that has been abandoned for a while. Remember where there are webs there are spiders and the bigger the web the bigger the spider. When cleaning always keep your eyes peeled for spiders. Its no joke I was recently working on an old car and got bit multiple times and it hurts real bad!

[@intrepid5684]

The Saab looks great! Can't wait for the next video when you try to get the car running and driving.

[@linushjalm8106]

4:28 mephis when he ses "cheap swedish rust bucket" for sale

[@urbanr7720]

great video as always and you are one of the best car youtubers in the world

[@CuoreSportivo]

18:20 i was expecting covers but not these, totally caught me off guard haha

[@dillanmistry]

Perfect, I’m glad you checked under the back bench, never know what hides there, and it’s cool to learn to polish on a classic like this too

[@Strike86]

Definitely not a waste of time if you learned something, and moreso if it helps you to feel better and more motivated about the car. By polishing it you can see the true state of the panels and maybe figure out which ones will need to be re-painted in the future, and which ones can be left alone.

[@adamv242]

Nicely done. Eagerly awaiting the mechanical restoration of this Swedish classic.

[@VK-je1hl]

Young man awesome job...congrats to you. We both have the same methods, idealogy, principle & policy in working methods....you are just like my son & workig methods too. Awesome to see your working methods...no short cuts but with positive success always.

[@llbrkvb]

What a good cleaning could do. The Saab already looks great (besides the brown stuff).

[@drink4711]

That was incredibly satisfying!

[@hankhill3201]

One of the best rustfixes i have ever seen 😂 great video as always!

[@MLC...]

Looks great! Seeing it now gives me more hope for this car.

[@manganvbg90]

This project earned you a sub. Next up a 9-5 hopefully 😎

[@1959Berre]

Great job. The BMW wheel cover also is a nice touch...

[@a_void]

This is so satisfying to watch!

[@BWTECH0521]

Fantastic work!!!!!! Love the old 900s

[@tonyd.3799]

Awesome how it looks after cleaning!!

[@Moolaz]

Satisfying clean! Well done! Looking forward to seeing how this turns out.

[@bokkenrijder172]

Nice BMW wheel cover in the end result on the right rear wheel. 😉 Groeten! 👍🏻

[@markgueren9633]

WOW... This brings me back.... I was a SAAB mechanic for many years...bought and sold many of these...sadly ones like that were stripped of parts (usable) and sent to crusher...My favorite was an '86 SPG... sold it with over 300K miles....the biggest area to inspect is the lower A arm mounts. That area rusted out terribly (mostly on the passengers side).... Good luck with that!! PS....Pinion bearings were also a common issue..

[@alejandrosalazarj.3574]

Brilliant work!

[@1one3_Racing]

Looks good! I'm not sure what your plans/budget/goal is, but those 900i and 900s are really cheap where I am and the grey is a super popular colour (along with black) and you could easily find a better shell. Build 1 car from 2. It would be cheaper and easier than repairing the rust. Might not make as many interesting, ad-revenue-generating videos though. But that interior is mint (aside from the dash) and hard to find. It would be great if you could find a rust free (turbo) shell to put it in. Lol. Turbo. Do it.

[@carcrazyguysa4059]

Always happy when you upload man!

[@CarFul]

Great detailing video for sure ! Loved it 👍👏🏻👏🏻😀

[@mc_frag8643]

As always a pleasure to watch, Mr Memphis

[@matiass6521]

Looks amazing!!!

[@Synchro242]

Wow nice work! Thanks for saving him!

[@sirericfoxofglaciermints9385]

Dag Memphis ! The fabric on the doors can be 'stretched' again, not sure it is glued. For the radio, the must is an old Blaupunkt 'Stockholm' of course but yours is fine. For the wheels, I'd discard these cheap steel ones for alloy ones (the elegant, ones, the Turbo ones are too sporty in my view). The color shines nicely, Platana Grey ? Love this thread, polishing was utterly useless but so enjoyable !

[@sirericfoxofglaciermints9385]

@@Azureecosse Indeed, most 'factory' head units were Clarion (branded 'Clarion made for Saab'). I also saw Philips units in some publicity material. However, mine (sold new in Belgium) came with a low-end Blaupunkt (Cambridge or Verona) that a replace with a early nineties Stockholm (better unit, the 'Stockholm' is obviously an added bonus).

[@AlexanderJBarrett]

Excellent results, looking forward to seeing the project progress.

[@pirogenopeich1856]

Good job!! It looks better. Congratulations!!

[@Ebut191]

Looking much better. Good for the motivation.

[@xtina818]

Polishing went great and it looks awesome

[@markc.4883]

My hood rust is/was much less, I cut it out and fabricated a side vent in it's place. When you get time, come accross the pond and come clean mine!! Nice job.

[@baconblitz772]

love to see a clean Saab in good shape! can't believe you had hit 100k! congrats!

[@indrajitdey2308]

Can't wait for this project to be completed!

A rust bucket can also shine, lots of work to do, waiting for the next video

[@jojobutter1]

good job on the Cleanup. Labor of love. Waiting for the next one.

[@massimo6432]

Great job!!! Very interesting!!!

Good luck with your really cool old school car. Love it.

[@yarinsheiman7789]

What a huge before and after! VERY NICE 😉

[@cylon9505]

totally agree on the polishing. it is an art to master and it is a good car to practice on.

[@jefferysmith3930]

Cleaning it up gives motivation to continue. Looks great!

[@nhlanhlamthembu2815]

It came out great, top work.

[@volvobrynk]

Omg! I miss my saab! Such wonderfull cars!

[@paultaylor9652]

Lovely Jubbly, great turnaround. I bet the previous owner would not recognise the Saab now.

[@mspriensma]

Good job saving another swedish gem. Would love to see how this thing turns out!

[@markc969]

Wow. It looks like a different car. Great work!

[@MrHubb1]

Awesome work. You did a great job 👏. The paint looks so good.

[@kergan1812]

Awesome vids if you can please make them longer as you really get into watching them then they end too quickly cheer I’m a Saab fan 😎

[@drivingbro]

Good buy, my dad had one of these, broke down alot but we sure loved it, very cool car

[@brunob97]

Love watching your videos !!

[@gravydavy4188]

Great car, can't wait to see more of it.

[@Frenchcrop]

What a difference, nice one.

[@kevinthornton2896]

That looks so much better you have managed to get the paint up or shiny I didn't think it would come back up again look forward to seeing the rest what you do to it

[@nigelbond4056]

What an amazing transformation. Memphis, you really are the Car Doctor. Really love the ‘Nothing to see here’ sticker, you’ve got to keep that when the Saab’s finished 😜. Really great video, as always. 👏👏👏
