Replacing The Most Difficult Fender I Ever Encountered | Saab 900 Classic Revival | Part 8

[@Sympli]

It's always a good evening when Memphis uploads a new video, this project or otherwise. Amazing quality of work, keep it up!

[@michaeldebrou8767]

You do a very professional job, it's going to be a fantastic example of this classic Saab.👍

[@paul_cockburn]

Chapeau squire! I have a 900 convertible from 1992 with 255k miles. My health took a turn for the worse whilst restoring it, it has been lying rusting and in need of much work for many years now. I can weld to a pretty decent standard, but your videos have given me motivation to return to the project, I thank you sir! Alway great content and I love that you don't edit out imperfections whilst showing your progress, both with the car and as a person technically, it's a really unique way of recording the things that you do. I love it and look forward to your videos

[@DirkJMartens]

"Luckily some blind person has been welding here" ... that is so funny ... you made my day ... or even my week.

[@MrHuismeester]

Nou dat is weer een flinke stap voorruit nu er een ander spatbord erop zit !!En inderdaad is je laswerk al een stuk beter en het ziet er meer dan prima eruit. Ook ziet het binnen scherm er netjes uit en helemaal compleet nu die in de goede kleur gespoten is. Moet zeggen dat de roest in het binnen scherm mij heel er mee viel gezien de conditie van het buitenpaneel. Maar ik weet zeker dat er een heel mooie auto straks voor de dag komt al zal nog wel even duren! Maar met zo,n mooie werkplaats is het eraan werken zeker geen straf! Zie je graag in de volgende episode !

[@walterbutscher8438]

Beautiful job. Now I see why body shops hate Saab cars. You make it look easy.

[@nobrainz00]

Thanks for this -- I wanted to have a go at removing fenders at the scrapyard, and this will save so much time

[@jamesward5721]

Lovely work - in case someone else has similar to do, the repair panels for that wing cost 65 quid for the outer & 30 for the inner lip section - if you didn't fancy removing the whole wing, it's an option. :-) Saabits have both.

[@michaeltutty1540]

Fantastic job, Memphis. That Saab is coming along a treat. One thing is sure: You lucked out with that fender. Most often when panels are welded onto a unibody they are stressed members, and so structural. Thankfully removing the fender did not allow any other parts of the front clip to move, ruining the alignment of the panels. Well done indeed.

[@PepinCar]

i really like your videos man great to see other young people into saabs ;) mine is from 1975 its a Saab 96. found in a barn it had been standing for 25 years+

[@Markustajahoyrylaiva]

I also have only wooden garage and I was always afraid to weld and throw sparks there - now you gave me confidence that all will be fine. -great work brother

[@AndrewKNI]

Excellent progress on the Saab Memphis. When completed it will be better than the original.

[@ursusskandia]

Thanks for showing how to actually remove the fender - I think it has not been shown before. I have to replace springs and shocks soon so thanks for showing that as well!

[@stephenswirles8555]

900i had them 15 year, sound engine etc, good gearbox, only thing heavey on petrol. but heavy car , found them to start first time every time.

[@nigelbond4056]

Utterly brilliant! A 22 minute Memphis video feels like 5 minutes, they never seem long enough. Your skills just get more and more amazing… and so does your humour. Keep it up, can’t wait for the next update 👍👏👌

[@trippy_boxer_dog2170]

the quality of your edits just get better and better! fantastic stuff mate! well done

[@ChishanFipz]

You did that the hardest way possible, but you gained plenty of experience in welding it! I bought a wing secondhand with the wheelarch attached, which fit perfectly over the top of the inner wing of mine. Welded it up there, a few bolts and job done.

[@Travelio21]

Fantastisch werk! Ben zelf bezig aan een verroeste E30. Respect voor dit werk!

[@mariodelrio3345]

I just wanted to tell you that you earned any mad respect from me, the work you did on the wheel wells is remarkable... I own a 02 Saab 9-3 Aero, and I am absolutely taken by the engineering of those cars, So now I am on my quest to Purchase a 1988 Saab 900 , is a Convertible though, is all that I could found at the moment, but in the near future I will be looking for a Saab 900 SPG.... Keep up your Amazing work... I'm a follower on your channel.... Awesome work brother!!!

[@FhVW]

Je wordt er steeds beter in! Leuk om dit te zien en te volgen.

[@marcocastro7860]

Awesome Work!!! on your repair!! Great video!

[@marco25avr]

Memphis my dude, always a pleasure watching your videos.

[@mariodelrio3345]

Fantastic job on the fender .... Outstanding!!! look forward for the next video buddy

[@michaelsidhu4079]

Great job on that fender replacement and wheel arch repair, you make it look so easy. 😎

[@aldosoldano9064]

Nice job!!!

[@easttexastramps]

you know you're doing something right when you keep some of us interested in watching you work on a car we/i could care less about... well done. thanks!

[@SeasideGarage]

Great work! Its nice to see your welding skills improve. Showing welds take courage! but yours look really really good!

[@marcellorava6149]

As usual nice work Memphis! I can't wait to see more!

[@adamv242]

It amazes me how Saab engineered some jobs, like changing the clutch disc, brilliantly easy... But *this* is how you remove what should be a bolt-on front fender.

[@birkir382]

Did remove fender from a c900 turbo which I restored 20 years ago. There is a company in Denmark that sold me a brand new fender then. I am shure they still keep them in stock. The company is called klokkerholm. You will find them if you google. Keep it up. Those cars are getting rare and they are a blast to drive!!

[@f7p1764]

WOW you read my mind just saw your previews videos hoping to see new ones, and you uploaded new one :D Thank you very interesting to see more progress on saab!

[@vog178]

You are really a great worker. Great job indeed!

[@markharris7662]

Your welding is coming on well. The saab is a very cool car to restore.

[@paultaylor9652]

As always a great video to watch and listen to, you are very lucky to be to work in such great surroundings.

[@all-flat-engines]

Might I suggest use a drill at the intersection point between two cutting areas (i.e. you're cutting to the same spot) this will stop you from over cutting past the point. Also when you have panels off the car get them media/sand blasted to get to bare metal, less work, and less chance of deforming the metal due to pressure or heat.

[@affordablevs]

Great bit of work there... everytime I see the Saab I think it looks cooler. They are such an interesting shape for the era. This is going to be one coole.ride.

[@Zka91]

nice to see the progress

[@Adrian2140]

I'm not a regular channel viewer as I'm not that much into German cars, but as a saab lover, you have my subscription. I hope this project isn't the end of your saab journey. There have been quite a few fun models throughout the years! All the best.

[@SkylarkCamperAdventures]

Excellent video again, love watching you bring the Saab back to life again 👍

[@LostDaemon]

It's good practice to tuck the drawstring from the hoodie inward so it doesn't get wrapped around the rotating tools.😉Nice approach, keep it up!

[@paul_cockburn]

I 2nd this from experience 😂 hoodies are my preferred choice of clothing, but always cut the draw strings off!

[@paul_cockburn]

another good tip is to empty your pockets of any metal objects (keys/coin etc) while welding, get too close and you can experience a not so pleasant arc

[@tassietony1226]

Excellent work there well worth the watch keep them coming

[@lennartvestin5124]

Well done, I admire your persistence and I am looking forward to see the end result as I have had a Saab 900i 5d -86.👍🏻🎃👍🏻

[@philleasthouse3791]

Looking good!! Great to make progress.

[@TheJcman72]

Around minute 6, I was wondering what did you use to melt the gravel protection and take it out so easily. I've seen most guys on youtube having a hard time to take it out, but your technic seems to achieve it quite easily. Thank you, and keep on the good work.

[@KnightHunterStudios]

This was a truly satisfying video and another great entry in Project Saab! Curious when the next episode on the BMW E28 may be though? Either way, great stuff as always Memphis keep it up! :)

[@seancoleman8528]

Love the job you are doing on the saab .you are very talented and its good to see a lad of ur age doing something like this well done

[@michaelhynds8035]

Excellent. Great stuff. Thank you for sharing.

[@michaeltreadwell777]

BRILLIANT. I've had 4 SAAB 900s and I LOVE them. Well done for rescuing this one 🙂

[@peterd2973]

Once again great work ! Outstanding

[@maxeluy]

Incredible work, im been following the progress on Instagram and this 21min video was weeks of hard work. So much dedication! Keep it up!

[@patrickryan7370]

Well done Memphis

[@TheSambeaux01]

I was starting to get worried about you. Glad to see you back in action

[@rabk5702]

Nice job on the body work well done 👍👍

[@deebee3901]

Awesome mate. Loved this video and the SAAB! One small tip - a mini belt grinder is excellent for removing spot welds.

[@darkfactory8082]

If a weld starts to pull because of too much heat, hammer a bit the weld on the dolly, untill you hear a hard rebound sound, so the weld will get stretched a bit and the surrounding metal will relax. Other than that you're doing pretty good, although that car has a terrible construction in the mean of seams.. Seams in the wheel well are the perfect invitation for rust, besides, what can we do?! It's what it is.. Live it and learn it. Protection, seam sealer mandatory, dinitrol protection over paint also. Cheers, keep on. Oh, and avoid lap joints like a plague, wherever you can. 😇

[@grayfool]

Nice job. The car is coming along really well.

[@organiccold]

Hi Memphis, you doing great with the Saab. Your welds are indeed becoming better everytime.

[@md-detailing]

Amazing work! We need more videos on the 900! :D

[@willemp6432]

Memphis...Memphis is our man....If anyone can fix it Memphis can......😎

[@TheKumonxx]

For the spot welds i recommend using mini belt sander, it will take a bit more time but the surface underneath will be looking great

[@itsmephil2255]

Your welding is way better than what I could do 👌

[@Ammerstol]

Great video Memphis!! When you started drilling those holes, I thought those Saabs were made of 2 inch thick armored steel :D You're doing a great job

[@chrissmith7655]

Hi great work. Many thanks for the uploads .

[@latviabalkanumuzika1514]

Beautiful job! So much enjoyed watching this

[@amunarjoh]

Great video! I like your approach to restoration. The SAAB is such a deserving car..

[@TheNorthernmunky]

Brilliant work

[@upcyclethepastutp9901]

well, i always knew that Saabs are military grade cars xD but seeing the design on the cars chassis and a welded on fender... now i understand ! Amazing job and have fun with this Swedish tank !

[@29lookingood]

So proud of you👍🏾🇬🇧💙

[@sneaks01]

Fantastic work!!! I love watching your Saab work!! Brings back good memories! 😊

[@TheHunterHofman]

Okay, let’s do thissss 🍿

[@zoidberg444]

Looking good mate - love this project!

[@karlbogren2769]

Absolutly wonderful car!

[@АлександрАнатольевич-з9ж]

Very nice! Good luck!

[@saabturboguy]

fantastic work!!!!!!!

[@rich5223]

Nice work mate

[@tylernail2146]

Thank you for saab content

[@stevenvi5155]

good job !! fender nicely aligns, keep it up!

[@bobhill5227]

Great job man 👌 well done

[@Abii030]

Trots op jezelf zijn man je bent echt goed bezig💪🏻👍🏻

[@vancogocevski767]

A-Mazing work as allways brow

[@jussiketels151]

Well done!!!

[@EdgeOfPanic]

The person that butchered the left front wheel arch must have thought: Bondo and paint makes me the welder I ain't 😅 Nice work, keep it up! 😎👍

[@Gripen85]

Ik zag je verfen en een lamp vasthouden tegelijk, als ik je een tip mag geven, koop zo'n mijnwerkerslicht die je op je hoofd kan plaatsen op Amazon! Mooie videos!

[@shershen25]

Nice work!!!

[@travel_like]

Хорошая работа, дополнительно необходимо обработать стыки металлов проникающим антикором, например dinitrol ML, очень хорошее средство

[@toolmanchris]

Very nice work well done 👍

[@ActionM]

Great job!!

[@rich_edwards79]

Wow, watching this makes me glad I got into old Volvos (which have bolt-on fenders) rather than SAABs! What were they thinking - I'm assuming it must be an integral part of the car's structure, improving front end rigidity?

[@morganplurien3745]

Good job as Always 😉

[@Eero_V]

Good work! I would recommend to use proper 2-K primer instead of the spraypaint, in a rattlecan the majority of the content is just thinner and the coat you will achieve is very thin... So don't leave the Saab with the primered wing sitting outside in the rain, or you will quickly have rust popping through!

[@kjeldlarsen912]

Well done , thx

[@mrMister3]

Very good job

[@larssvensson3875]

A Saab 99 wing is the easiest wing I've ever replaced. It's also the only wing I've ever replaced. ;-)

[@mariolaubli3877]

I just bought a 1994 Saab 900 S 16V which is generally in good conditions. The outer trims on the wheelarches are fixed tight with black tape. I will remove them as soon as possible and I'm really curious, whats under the trim.

[@MrSkoda105s]

Dat wordt weer heel mooi! Leuke video weer.

[@Blakenwhyte]

cant wait to see the whole thing painted :) Will you install a big ducktail aswell?

[@memphis5220]

Offcourse

[@Aquarious]

Awesome job! I'll have to tackle the same spot on my 900 some day, so this is nice to see. One question: are you welding through the etch primer or do you grind it away on the welding spots first?

[@memphis5220]

Im welding through it. Just learned that some zinc spray would be better though

[@pavelstoikov3780]

Memphis i hope u get much much more subs man , u deserve it , i am subs like when u got golf mk1 , i hope u get more subs . ps: keep the good work ! 👍👍

[@davejones538]

I like it a lot Mr memphis 👍

[@JonathanDeduytschaever]

merci voor de video!
